If a picture is worth a thousand words, then seeing a college campus should play a part in the process of selecting a college. Students should take advantage of family travel opportunities to visit colleges of potential interest. By contacting the Office of Admissions before arriving on campus, it is often possible to arrange for a campus tour and possible meeting with admissions counselors to have any questions about college life addressed. If a family is unable to actually visit a particular campus because of distance or timing, it is possible to take a "virtual" campus visit by linking with the web site below. Campus Tours provides an excellent window into the campus of your choice. |

It is the policy of Cumberland Christian School to allow juniors and seniors to visit a college campus during the regular school year. Students are limited to two visits each year. A written request should be submitted to the high school office in advance of the absence and a dated letter from the college must be provided to the high school office following the visit. The letter from the college should indicate the fact that the student did visit the college on the particular date. |

College Connections

Students beginning to look for a college that will fit their personal needs and style can begin by using one of the on-line databases of college information through a popular search engine. By providing information about plans, interests, and personal preferences in a college, the search engine will provide a listing of colleges that will fit the particular criteria. In most college search engines, the student can change the criteria for the search and create a different list of colleges. It can prove useful to use a couple of different search engines in the process of looking for colleges, since each search engine looks at data in a slightly different manner. |
|
The College Board provides the ability to search for colleges providing a consistent picture of the institutions, an internet link to the college web site, and relevant financial information. |

Families investigating a college will certainly need to examine the opportunities for spiritual growth on a college campus. In addition to evangelical churches within the college community, frequently there are active ministries on a college campus that engage in evangelism and discipleship among the students. Active participation in campus ministries and Bible studies will assist a student in keeping an active faith while away from home surroundings. While not every college has representatives from every campus ministry, the sites listed below are a few of the major non-denominational ministries active on the college campus toady. On the home page can be found links to contacts with individuals on particular campuses. Make certain to check and see what is happening on the campus of choice. Also make certain to check with a home pastor or youth pastor about denominational campus ministries at a college under consideration. |
