Myth #3

If I don’t recognize the college’s name, it’s probably not a good school

Don’t forget, there are over 4,000 viable post-secondary options. 30 or more may match your exact criteria! You may not hear of many of the nation's finest colleges until you are well into your adult life. Athletics on television is how most colleges get to be known, but many colleges do not get that kind of exposure. Some of the nation's finest colleges don't play big-time athletics. Judge a college on its own merits. Don't let name recognition determine a good or bad college. College is a match to be made, not a prize to be won.
