  25. Student Enrollment Size Do you like knowing your teacher and talking to them often? Do you like knowing all of your classmates? Do you concentrate better if you go to class alone and pay attention? Are you opposed to walking 15 minutes to class?

  26. Location Do you like warm weather or the snow? Do you want to stay close to home or are you ready to get away? Do you want to be able to drive home for a weekend? Could you go across the country to explore a new place? Are you interested in being near a big city?

  31. Question 1)Felix is a learner who needs individual attention and likes knowing his teacher. Which school would fit him best? • Ohio State (60,000 students) • Hanover (2,000 students) • Miami of Ohio (17,000)

  32. Try again! Think of his preferences in regards to class size relating to student enrollment size.

  33. YAY! Great job! Hanover would be Felix’s best option for his learning style alone.

  34. You’re close but think about his personal preferences for individual attention.

  35. Question 2)Joanna lives in Michigan and hates the cold. She is ready to get away from her home town. Which school matches her preferences? • Michigan State University • Eastern Michigan University • University of Arizona

  38. Awesome! Arizona would fit into Joanna’s location standards.

  39. Question 3)Darvon’s father and mother were involved in greek life and he has grown up dreaming of being in a fraternity. Which school would fit him best? • University of Alabama (known for greek life) • Ivy Tech (commuter school) • Xavier University (private university without greek life)
