College Ever After

What does the college decision look like in retrospect?

College Ever After is a podcast about what happens after the decision that once felt enormous.

I talk with young adults looking back on their own paths, parents looking back on what they worried about, and educators who have watched hundreds of students make the transition.

What can we see afterward that we couldn’t see when the decision felt enormous?

I’m interested in what actually happened—and what you understand differently now.
