As the mom of a senior in high school, I am experiencing the college application process from a new perspective. Being on the other side of the equation makes you realize how fraught with anxiety the process can be. Where to apply? How do you fill out THE FAFSA!!!?? What to major in?? So many different things to consider and deal with. The process can seem so impersonal.
Working with my son through this process has caused me to look at Granite State College in a whole new light. Although we are primarily known for our adult college degrees, here at the Conway, NH College, we see many traditional age college students as well. These students choose Granite State as their first choice for an affordable bachelor degree because of the ability to live at home, (save the room and board fees) and continue working while pursuing a degree. GSC meets so many objectives in a difficult economic climate.
I also hear enthusiastic comments about how easy the application process is. Students can apply at any time, come into a local office, get face to face help with every aspect of the process. A complete online application is also available for those who plan to pursue online classes for college. Students who haven't taken their SAT's, are excited to discover they can get in without them. There are so many ways our process is easier, and more flexible.
Traditional age students often discover that GSC can be a great stepping stone. Perhaps their grades in high school were not sufficient to get them into their institution of choice. A few successful semesters at GSC makes them a much better transfer candidate to the other colleges of New Hampshire. There are so many ways that GSC provides flexible options.
