In view of the increasing enroll
ments In colleges and the conse-
qnent increasing selectivity by
college admissions officers, it be-
comes more and more important for
students and parents to learn all
they can about the college in which
they are interested. They should
learn about admission policies,
course offered, and number of
students admitted each year. The
more a student knows about col
leges, the better are his chances of
getting into a college which is suit
able for him.
