Description

In this episode, we uncover the often-hidden factors that shape your student's college list, and help you separate helpful influences from harmful ones. We discuss how peer pressure, social media, prestige obsession, and even well-meaning relatives can steer your teen toward schools that aren't the right fit. Learn how to identify what should truly drive college selection: academic programs, campus culture, career outcomes, financial reality, and your student's individual needs and goals. We'll also explore how to have honest conversations about brand-name schools versus best-fit schools, and how to help your teen tune out the noise to focus on what actually matters for their success and happiness. This episode will empower you to build a college list based on substance, not status. S2, E1
