These are the four (main questions asked by ^senior students leaving 1 ;high school. What do I ■want to do? Where should • I go? When should I go? 'Why should I go? What's dite point? There arc many reason why students make the decisions they do. Some students choose college over university because they can take the same course for less money and in a shorter period of time. Other students pick university university because it may be the best place to turn interests interests and hobbies into future careers. Between the students that left in January and the students leaving in June, two hundred arc graduating graduating from Courliec Secondary this year. One hundred have applied to college and 60 to university. university. The other 40 arc taking a year off to cither work or to make decisions about Courtice Secondary News where their lives arc going. The hardest thing in everyone's life is change. The hardest change for students going away to college could range anywhere anywhere from a heavier work load and teachers not being as helpful to irregular irregular schedules and self motivation. The amount of stress on college and university university students may also be new to some students. The changes they have to make will be easier to make if they have the support support of family and friends.

Out of all the colleges in the area the most popular popular is our very own Durham College. Its most popular program is business. business. Western and Waterloo were the two universities that came out on top. The most popular program was Kinesiology. According to school counsellors, the number of college applicants has increased since last year. There has been a decrease in university applications. This is most likely because of the tuition increases expected in the near future. Due to changes in economy and unemployment, unemployment, counsellors have been forced to alter the advice they arc giving the students. They arc still telling the students to do something they will be happy doing, but at the same time, they arc telling them what is most needed for the jobs of the future. Decisions arc tough, but they arc essential to I their futures. If they choose to do nothing then they gain nothing. It is better better to make a mistake than to miss an opportunity to succeed.
