As an international student, I can say it’s hard not to fall prey to a college’s prestige. Why? In my case, it’s the strongest reference I have. I’ve never visited a college in the U.S, or met with any representative, student, or teacher. How can I decide which college is the best for me? How can I decide whether I’d prefer to attend Swarthmore or Grinnell, for example?

Unfortunately, some international students like me lack valuable information. Prestige thus rises as a strong factor.
