College Representatives Visiting Maple Hill

 How do you know a college is right for you? The first step is to ask plenty of questions. The answers will tell you if the college you are looking into meets your needs.

Some things you may inquire about are their academics, student life, financial aid, admissions procedures and sports. Most reps visit in the Fall. The below schedule will be updated as colleges are scheduled and will be placed on the daily http://www.schodack.k12.ny.us/high_school/guidance/College_Reps_Visiting.pdf

I retired after a 35-year career in education. After such a lengthy career, I never thought to hire a career counselor for the next phase of my life.
