Melrose High School Algebra 2
Day 4
College
Now that you know your personality type and have taken your skills and interests inventory, let's begin to research colleges that would be a good fit for you.
Today, your goal is simple. Come up with your #1 college option (even if you plan to go to carpentry or cosmetology school, come up with one college or university as an alternative option). Take that college, and write 6-8 sentences about it. Answer these questions and add any other information you'd like to about your #1 college.
When you have finished your paragraph, bring it up and I'll give you some feedback and sign off.
