Yesterday was a busy first day at the State Fair. Hundreds of people walked through the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities booth in the Education Building on Cosgrove Street.
I was excited to see so many people ask for information about college, whether it was for their children, grandchildren, friends, family members or even themselves.
I gave them copies of “Go Places,” a publication with information about every institution in the system and the programs that each offers. Brochures also are available for each college and university if you’re looking for a specific one.
“Go Places” has lots of useful information. It tells you how to prepare for college and ways to pay for college. And best of all, it is free. High school counselors can order them for no charge to give to students.
“Go Places” can be helpful starting from page one. One of the first pages shows a map of the system’s 54 campuses. You can learn about the 25 two-year community and technical colleges, and the seven four-year universities.
One of my favorite parts is the “College Cost Comparison” chart, which shows how our 25 community and technical colleges and seven state universities compare to the University of Minnesota, private schools and private trade schools in Minnesota
Don’t know what to study? Don’t worry. “Go Places” shows you hundreds of programs that we offer. It also has interesting information about each college and university. No wonder everyone took a “Go Places” with them.
Stop by our booth when you go to the fair. This is the real deal. “Go Places” really means you can go places. Or visit www.mnscu.edu for more information.
