The Importance of the First Two Years of College, and How the Extracurricular Activities Offered in College May Influence Your Kid Forever

#004 – We talk about what the first two years of college look like for most students pursuing a 4-year degree and dive deep into the general education curriculum. We discuss the surprising and positive lifelong effects these courses usually have in the future personal and professional lives of students.

We present the different extracurricular activities that are strategically prepared by colleges and universities for students to experience. Those activities usually make impressions in the minds of students, which will help form the professionals they become. This highlights the importance of researching colleges and universities properly to ensure they are a good fit for your kids.

Anthony shares some of the outside-the-classroom experiences he had in college and how they affected him deeply, causing him to modify aspects of his faith, and rethink his understanding of the world. Jankel reminisces about the one college class that continues to influence her today. 

We had plenty of fun recording this episode. We hope this information helps you give your kid a vision of what the first two years of college will look like, and helps guide you and your kid as you set out to select colleges to which to apply.
