Choosing the right college for you has never been easier.
“I am so stressed about where to go to college!"
"Every college says it is the best. How am I supposed to know which school to choose?"
"My friends are going to college in different places, and I feel like mom and dad are as confused about where to go as I am!"
"College seems so expensive. What if I make the wrong choice and end up with a lot of debt and no future or freedom?"
Picking a college that is right for you is one of life's biggest decisions. How do you make the right choice? This little book is a great book for high schoolers and students grappling with their dreams, desires, and details of their life. Dr. John Jackson is a college president, pastor, and parent of five children. He has walked hundreds of families through a decision matrix on choosing the right college and provides helpful tips for high school students, family members, and friends who take this journey together.
The Right Choice is an efficient, solution-oriented college guide book to give you data, decision points, and details to help shape this life-changing decision by providing a framework to work from. If you or someone you love needs help finding a good college to attend, it’s important to know the reasons why to attend a public college vs. a private college vs. a religious college. This book will help you narrow your options by helping you answer these questions:
- What are my dreams?
- What are my desires?
- What are the details?
Once you have the answers to those questions, you’ll be able to make the right choice for you and your future. Not only will you be equipped to discover the right choice for college, but you will also learn a decision-making process that will help you in other areas of life as well.
