Three key questions to continue asking during your college "search."
1. Why am I doing this?  
2. What is driving me? 
3. Have I lost sight of “my why” in exchange for chasing numbers- or the comparison to others?

@JayMJacobs @KatieFM @adamgwarrington Lots of CO students I work with choose to attend college in VT (they love the similarities in lifestyle/outdoors) and then return back home to CO after graduation. Would be interesting to know numbers of students coming from those areas originally and then returning after...

[Cara Ray @ClimbtoCollege]

@JayMJacobs @uvmvermont Thanks so much for sharing this @JayMJacobs! As a Vermont native, parent, IEC, daughter of UVM alum, and a local school board trustee it gives me a lot to think about and process about our students, during enrollment and post-grad from varying perspectives. Have fun at NACAC!
