Find the Perfect College for You

Blend a detailed lesson on discovering your personality/learning type with Marie and Law’s first hand knowledge of 82 possible colleges/universities majors and enviroments from across the spectrum and you see the potential their text Find the Perfect College for You has for students who just don’t know where to start their college search.

Every high school student does some sort of learning styles inventory during their school career.  Marie and Law’s inventory asks readers to evaluate themselves in being either:Introverted or Extroverted, Sensitive or Intuitive, Thinking or Feeling, and Judging or Perceiving.  Once a student identifies their learning style, the 82 colleges are listed with a description of how that college meets different combinations of the learning styles.  For example, this reviewer scored a E, S, T, J combination.  Using the index, I can find colleges that match my learning styles based on their values, structure, and the majors and minors offered.  With clear, realistic examples of each throughout the text of the learning styles for each college listed, a student can walk away with a pretty hardy list of colleges that might best fit their learning style.   I think this text would be especially  helpful for those students who don’t “fit the mold” or don’t “like the structure of organized mass education”.  They will be exposed to some smaller, unique schools.  It’s a great idea to connect learning styles to the style of the college and every career/college center should have this available for students to check out.
