overloaded by repetitive
college communication
that fail to answer their
questions or concerns.

The college’s approach
can be unbalanced,
incomplete, misleading,
or ordinary.

We’ve identified a set of
key factors that colleges
can use to connect best
with potential students and
their families.

“I’d like to receive more emails about
various degree programs and majors.”
“Not only did they have my major, but
I could watch some rehearsals. It gave
me a perfect window into the academic
approach and experience.”
“The top thing I look for on each
college’s website are the majors.”
“I want to know they have my major,
but other options too in case I want to
switch it.”
“The reputation of the academics
is really important.”

EXPERIENCE
Community experiences that enhance the overall college offer
Campus
“Visiting campus, I expected to see
places where students spend a lot of
time, studying or just hanging out.”
“I want to know there are things to do
off campus — cool places to hang out,
day trips I can do with my friends.”
“Eating in one of the cafeterias was
great. I got a sense of what I’d be eating
all year long.”
“All the campus tours seemed exactly
the same. Nothing stood out. It was just
about pointing out buildings.”
“I look at the location: something
unique that every other college isn’t also
bragging about.”
“Let us wander. Sometimes the best
social stuff is unorganized. Scoping out
cool places is more memorable.”

RELATIONSHIPS
The relationships that provide a sense of belonging
Community
“Speaking to current students during
the campus tour was the best part. I got
a sense of the people there.”
“I first check out the campus online and
see if it’s a place that I can fit in.”
“We were given an introduction
by ‘student ambassadors’: horribly
overzealous and painfully awkward.”
“I prefer person-to-person contact. The
internet is convenient, but face to face
communication and research trumps
looking at a screen any day.”
“A sense of belonging is
really important to me.”
“I want somewhere that feels like home,
a place where I feel comfortable, and for
me, it’s all about the people.”

cheapest, but enjoyable and offering
what I needed.”
“I looked over cost with my parents:
the financial aid package and
scholarship options.”
“The deciding factor was cost,
and how it was tied to location.”
“Cost to attend was one of my top
three factors. My parents emphasized
the importance of reviewing everything.”
“Initially I ask about how much it costs
to attend and whether they give out a
lot of scholarships.”

  • 12. Curriculum “I liked talking to my new professors and to other students who are interested in the same stuff I am.” “I’d like to receive more emails about various degree programs and majors.” “Not only did they have my major, but I could watch some rehearsals. It gave me a perfect window into the academic approach and experience.” “The top thing I look for on each college’s website are the majors.” “I want to know they have my major, but other options too in case I want to switch it.” “The reputation of the academics is really important.”

I got a sense of what I’d be eating all year long.” “All the campus tours seemed exactly the same. Nothing stood out. It was just about pointing out buildings.” “I look at the location: something unique that every other college isn’t also bragging about.” “Let us wander. Sometimes the best social stuff is unorganized. Scoping out cool places is more memorable.”
