MARCH MADNESS

I love this time of year.  Spring is just around the corner and UK is on its quest to have an undefeated season.  Do you participate in the NCAA brackets?  This would be a great opportunity for you and your student to research different colleges.  All colleges will have a web-site.  Have your student explore it.  Does it have a major which fits his/her interests?  How far away from home is it?  How many of its students receive financial aid?  What does the admission application look like?  What types of extra-curricular activities are offered?  How are their sports teams?  I had never heard of Gonzaga until the year they entered the tournament.  Gonzaga, by the way, is located in Spokane, Washington and their basketball team is 32-2 going into the tournament.  We have some great colleges in KY.  The next couple of weeks can provide you and your student an opportunity to learn and research some other schools.  Use these next couple of weeks not just to focus on basketball, but on the colleges they represent.  GO CATS!
