Overall, yes. Some better than others. And often, this depends on the counselor you are assigned and how well you work with them. As folks who have been here for some time know, our family could have built a shrine to DS’ CC. She totally “got” him and what he was looking for. She was 200% available when he needed her. She was reassuring to the parents. And she helped him strategize well and present himself well. It also helped that he ultimately got into his top 2 choices.
DS had a close friend who really didn’t click with his CC (who had been the head of college counseling at a much loved BS here on CC, so presumablyquite capable.) He didn’t love the process, did not have as positive an outcome, and ended up transferring after freshman year.
I would say that overall, his school has excellent college counseling but hopefully you can see from my tale above that it will be about expectations and people (of which you are one!)
