Choosing College

This book is written for people who want to make better educational choices about college. The rankings, metrics and analytics that we currently use to make those decisions are outdated and don't give us the information and context we need to make such a high-stakes decision. Once you understand why you're going to school, the authors will help you make better educational choices. The research in this book illustrates that choosing a school is complicated. By constructing more than 200 mini-documentaries of how students chose different post-secondary educational experiences, the authors explore the motivations for how and why people make the decisions that they do at a much deeper level.
