When considering the ways in which parents can help their children with college searches, different parents will find different methods that work for their children. One method is aiding in the organization of the vast amounts of information they will likely be gathering about various schools. That might be a paper filing system, a spreadsheet to compare schools side-by-side, a calendar for scheduling campus visits and tracking application materials, some combination of these tools or something else entirely. You can also help by providing periodic check-ins. Many parents of aspiring college students find a weekly conversation can help keep everything on track. Your student may have questions or need some direction during these meetings that can be solved with Oxbridge Notes. Don’t be afraid to say, “I don’t know” when asked about something outside your scope of knowledge.
