| How Can I Tell What Might Be a Good "Fit"? |
| |
| Your answers to these questions can help guide you to an institution that suits you well. However, keep the following points in mind as you consider institutional fit: |
| |
- You will grow during your college years, and your initial fit with an institution may change as you develop.
- Especially in large institutions, the abundance of different communities may make it difficult to identify a particular group with which to compare your own values and beliefs, because these communities may vary by department or program or from residence hall to residence hall.
- Fit does not mean acculturation or adopting cultural values that are not your own. For example, African-American students do not need to adopt a white culture to be successful; perseverance and some social support can help minority students succeed in environments where the majority of the students are from different cultures (Morning, 1991).
