The biggest addiction in college: skipping class
Part of my job as an Admissions Advisor at Eastern Washington University is to give presentations to visiting middle and high school classes that come to see what a college campus is like. I nearly always start off my presentations by asking the students how they think college is different than high school. One day, [...]

Trying to afford college
One question that often comes up when I am giving presentations about college is "How am I supposed to pay for this"?

How to be different in college
Students can completely reinvent themselves in college. This is what I would try if I went back to college today.

Attending college robot-style
Based on the decibel level and the foot traffic at Reese Court last weekend, you would have thought Eastern was playing an archrival and that the score was close. Real close. Buzzer-beating close. You would have been wrong. It was robots. Lots and lots of robots hooping it up on the basketball court. Over the [...]

The Olive Garden reviewer
Marilyn Hagerty catapulted to Internet fame for her review of the Olive Garden, and my middle-of-nowhere, small-town heart loves it. The story, that is, not the Olive Garden. The Olive Garden is sometimes hard to love … but Marilyn—she’s something special. If you haven’t followed her story, here’s the gist of it. For several decades, [...]

The impartial college
How do you know you’re seeing the “college” and not just the “marketing”? How do you get to the true heart of a college experience? This week, NPR released new standards for its journalists. For an organization as big and respected as NPR, this is a pretty big deal. It’s like the Seattle Seahawks writing [...]

Making every tuition dollar count
We just saw this in the Spokesman-Review (the regional paper for the second-largest city in Washington, which is just 15 minutes down the road), and we definitely thought it worth sharing: Demetrius Dennis shopped carefully to find the best college education for the lowest price. “I reviewed the departments, programs offered and cost of tuition,” said [...]

College fit: it’s about you
If you’re in the middle of your college search, you probably have one huge question: “Out of all the thousands of colleges in the world, which one is the best fit for me?” Traditionally, our society emphasizes two approaches to answering this question. One is the “true love” approach: there’s one school out there that’s [...]

How Facebook affects college admission
Anyone with a Twitter page, Facebook profile or personal blog knows the risks: most of what you post online is visible to anyone with an internet connection. Your friends, your parents, and even your teachers can see your pictures or read about your weekend adventures. Normally what you post online isn’t much of an issue, [...]

Saving money on tuition with WUE
In my glorious undergraduate years (back before I could grow the few scraggly facial hairs I now call a beard), I met hundreds of alumni who came back to campus to reconnect with the school they had called home. One of them told me that when he had gone to school, tuition had been just [...]
