subject: College Albums And Movies: Students Initial Host [print this page] Before taking the life-altering step of selecting a college to attend to, a student normally goes on Googling the college or even pays a visit to the college to get some brochures. The first eye-catching element on a webpage or in a brochure is the college photo.
Be it a snapshot of a graduate throwing away his graduation cap with the college building in the backdrop, or a professional photograph of the actual building portraying the greatness of enlightenment, college photos target touching the students sublime so he/she will, eventually, join this specific college. Therefore, colleges add a very tempting photo album to their websites or encompass it into their brochures. This photo album usually includes photos of every location and every building that belongs to the college, starting from a view of the campus, photos of the labs and the classes and sometimes, portraits of graduates.
However, college pictures are not supposed to work as a billboard or a shop front, they are more like tags for students to examine what does the college looks like, to what extent the college is professional or friendly, and to basically have an idea of what to expect.
Provided photo albums did not do it, college movies would definitely give the student not only an insight about the college, but also a brief idea about the courses, the method of teaching, the extracurricular activities available in the campus and why should the student join this college only. Typically, these kinds of videos will be starred by either college graduates, who will share their experiences with the student to-be or features some of the colleges most articulate high board speaker, or the dean. A college movie is a documentary that is not supposed to be as informative as much as it is supposed to be motivational.
Usually, the videos act as the medium to deliver the information that could not be provided in the review. The college movie encompasses experiences from a personal viewpoint; it is a one-to-one technique of transmitting a part of life to someone, who has not lived that part, yet.
Some institutions conduct counseling programs to help the students choose from the range of courses available.
