True!

9. Question 2 True or False

TRUE: Some of the nation’s finest colleges don’t play big-time athletics, which is usually the most common source of name recognition. Students should do plenty of research outside of the sports roster.

10. Question 3 True or False
There are about 2,500 two- and four-year colleges and universities in the country.

TRUE: Most colleges focus on developing the “whole person.” That means they offer lots of experiences to engage and teach students outside the classroom.

14. Question 7 True or False
You won’t get financial aid unless you are a straight-A student.

15. Question 8 True or False
