Teen Program - Overview of College Systems: Applying, Affording, Attending

Join experienced college advisor, Alice Kleeman, in the Community Room to talk about different college systems: University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), community college, private (independent) college, out-of-state public, international. Participants will take a look at the various college systems: their differences and similarities. What does the application process look like at each one? How will you know how much they will cost? What will it feel like to attend schools in these systems?

Seniors, as you finalize your college list, and juniors, as you begin to think about college, what should you consider as you choose which system(s) might be the best fit for you? Bring your questions—and be ready for a few surprising answers!

This session is open to high school juniors and seniors only (not parents or students at other grade levels). All library sessions are free of charge, but please register each student so that we know what to expect. 

Alice says: "My focus is always on helping students feel less overwhelmed about applying to college. My credentials: I served as the College Advisor at Menlo-Atherton High School for 20 years. Since retiring, I have kept well informed so I can be useful to students who need extra help (without ever charging money for my help). I particularly enjoy serving students whose parents did not go to college. All students (at the right grade level) are welcome to attend the library events."
