Understanding college options is the first step to making an informed choice. In this activity, students will learn the pros and cons of a variety of choices they will have when determining their personal college fit, such as:
 
Types of colleges – Liberal Arts, Secular State Public, & Christian
College core values and how this impacts one’s experience and potential outcomes
Size of colleges – small, medium, & large
Location – far from or close to home, in-state or out-of-state
Living on or off campus
Seeking a specific major or a major that includes a wider variety of transferable skills
Cost of colleges – private versus state public
Entrance requirements and their impact on one’s experience
 
Here’s how the activity works! 
Print the “game cards”.  Laminate them if possible.
Read the front side of each set (such as “live on campus” and “live off campus” and ask students to stand on one or the other side of the room based on their choice. 
THEN, ask a student to read aloud the back side of those cards to learn valuable insights!
Some info is Texas-specific and may require inputting your knowledge of programs and colleges in your state.
