Description:

Solidifying your Christian beliefs. Deciding on a career. Meeting life-long friends (maybe a marriage partner). Making the most significant investment of time and money in your life. It all spells c-o-l-l-e-g-e.

But what college do you choose and where do you go to get solid, objective information on making this important decision? Certainly college counselors and parents can be a big help, but you may want even more than they can provide. This book — The Christian Parent and Student Guide to CHOOSING A COLLEGE—could be just what you’re looking for.

As a professor, Dr. Ronald Nash has taught more than five thousand college students. From a professional standpoint, he knows how important it is to make a good decision on the right college.

As a parent, Dr. Nash understands the pressures on parents—financial and emotional—in helping their teenager to make the right college choice. Having taught on secular and Christian campuses, he has a solid grasp of the benefits and perils of each.

Finally, as a Christian, Dr. Nash understands the importance of making a college decision that will help a student to build a faith that’s personal and life-directing.

This book systematically takes parents and students through a four-fold process: 1) Asking the right questions about college, 2) Making a preliminary list of possibilities, 3) Paring the list to the best choices, then 4) Making the final decision.

Choosing a college—the right college—is a monumental task. There’s no reason, however, for it to be too frightening. That’s what this book is all about.
