Let's talk about the various things you need to consider
- 00:14
when deciding where to go to college Some of it
- 00:16
could be the politics of that part of the country

country and you think this isn't me I want to
- 00:23
try something else and a lot of high schools the
- 00:26
students think that they are pretty liberal or pretty conservative
- 00:30
on they're actually not they think they're liberal but then
- 00:33
they visited true liberal college and they think wow i
- 00:37
didn't realize people could actually be this liberal and left
- 00:39
leaning on the issues that i really care about and
- 00:41
similarly there are a lot of students who think they're
- 00:43
pretty conservative but then they visit a really conservative college
- 00:47
and they think wow that is way out there So
- 00:50
i think that's the important thing about getting out there
- 00:51
to visit some of the colleges or at least research
- 00:54
them and just find out that what you're maybe high
- 00:56
school's smaller slice of the pious is nothing compared to
- 00:59
the big natural national structure of wait can also think
- 01:02
about school spirit and the definition of school spirit varies
- 01:06
A little bit but one of the categories that's sports
- 01:09
and does that mean that you're all painting your face
- 01:11
is up and you know wearing the school sweatshirt around
- 01:14
all day long Do you look forward to the big
- 01:16
football game on the weekends with tens of thousands of
- 01:19
students there But we find that some small colleges also
- 01:22
have a lot of school spirit just on a smaller
- 01:24
scale so they have a smaller stadium for the basketball
- 01:28
games but students pack that another category of school spirit
- 01:32
is the arts and this is something that a lot
- 01:34
of the art students that i've worked with are pretty
- 01:37
excited to find out that school spirit also convene your
- 01:40
friends your haul your classmates coming out when you're at
- 01:43
a place i'm serious lead in the play and they're
- 01:46
there for you in the play is over congratulating even
- 01:48
hugging you or you're playing an instrument in the orchestra
- 01:52
same kind of thing they're there to cheer you on
- 01:54
but it's not sports but there are a lot of
- 01:56
colleges that don't really have much in the way of
- 01:58
school spirit on a kind of traditional flik line of
- 02:01
things so i think you just need to figure out
- 02:03
do you want to be all rara or not quite
- 02:05
as much and figure out where you are in that
- 02:07
spectrum Consider the politics of your college Are you more
- 02:12
conservative or liberal Consider your colleges school spirit Does it
- 02:17
move you It is your college have a good sports
- 02:20
team you really care Does your college have a good
- 02:23
art program Is school spirit important to you How so
