College
Spreadsheets
Overview:
What college do you want to attend? How do you go
about choosing a college? What do you look for in
a college? How will you know that a college is a
good match for you? In this project we will use a spreadsheet to compare
colleges that offer the majors that you need to
successfully plan your careers. The purpose of this
project is to help you analyze college choices.
Technology Tools: (Excel 2000)
Toward a balanced, attractive, and easily read
spreadsheet, you will need to use:
Titles/ text labels
Formatted numbers
Formulas
Graphs
Design elements (color, fonts, borders/ lines, etc)
Project Contents:
Use the link below to find three colleges that offer the
majors you would need in order to be successful in at
least two of the careers that interest you.
http://www.collegenet.com
(try the search option).
Record the
following information about each college:
tuition and
fees,
room
and board,
books,
(if you can't find this number estimate $700)
travel
costs, (estimate -- how many trips you will make
home (minimum 8) times how much it will cost for a round
trip (you may have to check airline prices; if you plan
to drive miles*.40 is a good estimate) , if you plan to have a car on campus add
$200 for a
parking permit plus weekly gas money (40 weeks times $25 per week)--
use a formula)
spending
money. (estimate -- there are 40 weeks in a school
year times how much money you will need each week -- use
a formula; the further away the college is, the more
you should estimate per week).
Add a formula here to total all costs.
Skip
2 rows and record:
school size,
(this is the full-time undergraduate enrollment)
location (city, small town,
suburban, rural),
distance from your
home, (in miles and driving hours -- go to http://www.mapquest.com
and click on driving directions, put in your home city
and state on the left -- on the right put in the city
and state of the college, click 'get directions',
at the top of the directions will be listed the distance
in miles and how long it will take to drive there.)
average high
school GPA of freshmen,
average
SAT score of freshmen,
what majors they have that are of
interest to you, (each on its own line)
what clubs/sports they have that are of
interest to you, (each on its own line)
any other criteria that is
important to you.
Print out:
Turn
your formulas on and print. Try to keep it to one page.
It would be helpful to graph some of the above
information. Use a stacked column graph to compare the
costs of each college. Your graph should have three bars
-- one for each college. Print the data and the
graph. Try to keep it to one page. Scoring
