Students from college chat with high school students about questions that admissions officers might not discusss. Questions like:

How is college life different from high school? How are classes different from high school classes?  Do you feel like you can express your opinions freely in class and on campus? Do you feel pressure to succeed in college?  From what sources?  Do you have to appear to be successful, or can you show yourself as you really are in and out of class, to friends and professors? What’s the day to day life like? How’s the schedule different? What was it like leaving home?  What’s it like coming home after being in college? How did your college choice work out?  How would you have done the college search differently? What is the social life like? How did you make friends? How did you get paired with roommates? What advice do you have about that?  How do you deal with conflicts with your roommates? Did you join a fraternity or sorority?  Why or why not? Describe your social life. How is it similar or different to your life when you were in high school? (Do you feel pressured to drink excessively or engage in risky behavior?  How do you deal with that pressure?) Do you ever feel unsafe in social or other situations? Did you ever observe your friends behaving inappropriately to other students? What was picking classes like?  What do you wish you’d done differently? How does picking your major work? Are you involved in any church activities in college?  What’s that like?  What other sports, clubs and other activities are you involved in?  What do you recommend?
