With so many options, how do you make the right college choice?

Choosing a college is difficult and confusing. But you're not alone! And you are not the first ones to face this challenge. While we would love for your son or daughter to come to Radford, we are more interested in making sure that you make the right choice for your family. Here are some simple tips for navigating the college selection process.

Does the school have the accredited academic programs that interest your student?

Will your student have a variety of different (and familiar) campus activities to participate in?

Is the campus located in a place that your student will feel energized by? safe in? proud to call home?

Do the faculty seem genuinely interested in teaching?

Is the institution affordable for your family?

We're glad that you are considering Radford. To help you in the decision process, we are proud to present a series of essays written by Jim Jump, President of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). You'll find helpful tools, ideas, and exercises in Jim's thoughtfully written College Handbook below.
