I was recently interviewed about grading at Jewish day schools.

Grades can ‘make kids feel judged as Jews,’ according to an organization dedicated to improving and innovating Jewish day schools.

A three-year bachelor's degree comes in many forms, depending on the academic program and the school. Some are true three-year programs while others require as many credits as a four-year degree,

The three-year college degree is not the best option for many college-bound students. Find out why at EducatedQuest.com!

Butler University offers many options commonly found at a large university within a smaller, independent school that's also in a major city.

Butker University has a lot to offer students who want the choices available within a larger school but a smaller student body.

Posting this one a little early to get reactions into next week. People have different ideas about which schools deserve to be considered as Public Ivies, no matter their costs to non-residents.

This campus visit made me think about how an independent college admissions advisor can help a student with an average transcript with less rigor to find their best fit college. Sometimes it takes more research than a student and their family have time to do.

A spring campus visit made me think about: Who Is the average college applicant?

Visiting Assumption University made me think about the reasons why most people choose a college: they want school close to home that offers a program that they really want. Assumption has a student success model that appears to be working for a B/B+ student.

Given tighter borrowing limits and state politics, will New Jersey residents continue to flock to Clemson?

Clemson is quite popular with New Jersey's college-bound students. But will it remain that way for long?

A path to a tuition free masters degree might be an advantage in a time of tighter borrowing limits.

South Carolina's flagships are more and more popular, yet the regional public institutions are losing enrollment.

As SC considers how to both fund and keep public colleges affordable, state and university leaders are pushing schools to control their costs.

Most college-bound students attend a public institution within 50 miles from home. However, regional public colleges face various decisions about their futures.

I look at three regional public universities as well as the future of these schools as a whole.
