Hey there! I've been considering reaching out to current college students at some of the schools I'm interested in to get their perspective on the college experience. Is this a good idea, or would it be seen as intrusive? If it's okay, what's the best way to go about it? Thanks!
Hi! I think it's a great idea to reach out to current college students to get their perspective on the college experience. It's not intrusive at all, as long as you approach them politely and respectfully. Many students are more than happy to share their experiences and insights with prospective students. One way to connect with current students is through the college's social media channels or student forums. You could also attend college fairs and open houses, where you'll likely have the opportunity to meet and chat with current students. Additionally, you can ask your high school counselor or a private admissions counselor if they can connect you with current students or alumni from the colleges you're interested in. Just remember to be polite and appreciative of their time, and you should have no problem getting some valuable first-hand advice. Good luck!
