Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Question: What issues concern you the most? (Top 5 Answers for Teens: Economy 59%, Finding Cures for Diseases 49%, Child Abuse 47%, War 46%, Education 44%)
  2. “Trying to find a school that is right for you, but also, a price that is within your means to pay back.”
  3. “The medical field is one place that there will always be jobs, I feel like. With the economy going down, there are a lot of other jobs that have closed down, but the medical field is the one field where jobs remained open.”
  4. “I think people want to be assured that after they graduate, and what they went through and the money they spent, they want to be assured that it was worth it.”
  5. “[The materials say] that [Penn State is] different and give us a reason to choose you over everyone else. That you are on a different level.”“[The photos] show the teachers with the students, one-on-one, which is really appealing. When you think of college, you think of a big, giant room and your professor and you learn and go on your own. When it shows the professor working with you, it shows they’ll help you.”“What I like about them is you can see where they are now. You can tell that he works in intelligence and she works in that lab … because the main goal is to get a good job, so it’s really important for people to see, “OK, if I get a degree at Penn State, I’ll be able to get this job.”“I feel like for general postcards – “hired” is a big thing because everybody wants to get a job after college.”
  6. On color: “It’s more noticeable. It’s the first thing I noticed when you pulled them out.”On meaning: “It’s your turn to choose what you want to do … you’re finally independent and your transition[ing] to adulthood.”
