What is college fit?
 

College fit is one of those terms that is used throughout the college counseling world. It will be a regular term students hear during their college search. However, what exactly does college fit mean? A good college fit is when a college meets a student’s needs and wants academically, socially, and financially. Good college fits will meet most, if not all, of the student’s preferences in a college. Source: https://jlvcollegecounseling.com/2015/06/12/what-is-college-fit/
