Finding the right college "fit"?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi everyone, </p>

<p>I'm an intern for a professor at a Top 10 school, and I'm currently doing some research on a project that involves "fit" at a college. If everyone could post some information about the following points, that would be really helpful!</p>

<ul>
<li>What colleges/universities you applied to, and if you were accepted/rejected from them</li>
<li>what college/university you currently attend </li>
<li>what activities you participate in while on campus</li>
<li>what type/genre of music you listen to (also name specific bands)</li>
<li>what specific activities you like to do in your free time (ex. sports, playing instruments, etc.)</li>
<li>what sorts of movies you like best (name specific ones)</li>
<li>what genre of books you like reading (also name specific titles/authors)</li>
<li>whether or not you are employed (or interning or volunteering). </li>
</ul>

<p>If there are any miscellaneous tidbits you think would be helpful please mention them, for instance any other things you "like" on facebook. I know that this won't be inclusive of all interests at colleges and won't paint a complete picture of "fit", but it will nonetheless help. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me or email <a href="mailto:interns.sl@gmail.com">interns.sl@gmail.com</a>.
Thanks so much!</p>

<p>sorry, but I find it inappropriate that a university would use research that it gathered from anonymous posts on the internet. How in the world can you trust the reliability of this data? You don’t know anything – age, gender, etc. – about your subjects, nor do you have any idea if they’re telling the truth about who they are or what they say.</p>

<p>Yeah, if this is the caliber of “research” you are learning to do at a Top 10, I would question your choice of school!</p>

<p>LOL, I doubt that you are doing research for a Top Ten school.</p>
