College Planning Values
Students have different reasons for going to college. Eleven reasons or values are found to be most important to students as they think about college. Knowing about your values is the important first step in identifying the colleges where you will fit in and be happy.
To complete the assessment, read through the list of 11 values —A through K.
RANK each of them from #1 (the most important to you) to #11 (the least important to you) on the basis of your answer to the following question:
What do you want college to do for you?
Each student will rank them differently; hence, there are no “right” answers. Whereas several, or even most, of these values may be significant for you in one way or another, the goal is to decide which three are the most important.
A. To provide me with a place to learn and study.
