Write down what's important to you before you visit.

You're spending time and money on your trips, so

invest in a little preparation before you go.

Besides, college admissions folks love

to meet with serious, well-prepared

students. Who wouldn't?

Bring a camera and something to writenotes in. (Or, let your parents be the conspicuous ones with the camera! You simply bring your notes.)

You'll be surprised how quickly collegesblend in your mind after you've visited between 3 - 6 of them. Take notes. Ratethe things that are important to you.

Saint Rose is located in a college town with 16

colleges and universities and nearly 60,000

college students. Albany has been ranked as one

of the top three cities in the U.S. in which to

receive an education by Places Rated Almanac.

Give a rating from 1–10 (10 being the highest).
