They are unsure about fit, cost and value, distance, health and safety, an empty nest, and more.  \nCOVID-19 has added even more factors into the mix. The  \npandemic drastically changed the way many colleges deliver instruction, as well as the ways students and their families evaluate prospective schools and determine a path forward.  \nConsider these recent findings from a December 2020 survey conducted by Tallo of 30 college  \nloomed even larger for parents and guardians, according to the admission professionals surveyed. Fifty-six percent of Tallo respondents strongly agreed that parents and guardians of prospective students are highly concerned about how their college is handling the pandemic.  \n“Last spring, remote learning was subpar at best. This year has been better because my 19-year-old daughter is living off-campus and most of her classes are in-person, but she is still missing out on the social aspect of college life. Very limited sports attendance and Zoom sorority events just aren’t cutting it.”  \nadmission professionals. Despite promising news on the vaccine front, the pandemic remains atop concern of both students and their parents/guardians, survey results show.  \nOne-third of respondents strongly agreed that prospective students are highly concerned about their institution’s approach to COVID-19. And those worries  \nCHALLENGES ABOUND  \nAlthough the survey sample size is small, the findings back up what counselors and admission professionals say they have witnessed this year as families embark on a college search process that’s rife with new challenges.  \nDina Chelst, director of college guidance at Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys (NY),  \n30 THE JOURNAL OF COLLEGE ADMISSION  \nsaid she's seen a shift in parents’concerns for their children.“They’re nervous about putting their children in environments that are unknown. They’re worried about what college is going to be for their children,”  \nChelst said.  \nSafety concerns and financial challenges also abound, said Cicily Shaw, director of college counseling at Boston Trinity Academy (MA).“Cost is really big this year. Can families actually afford to send their child off? There’s been changes in income for some of our families,”Shaw said. She’s adapted by offering more tools and resources, such as the net price calculator, and says some families have gravitated toward a gap year instead of sending their child directly to college.“They say, ‘Let’s do the process but let's take a year and make sure colleges will provide the resources they say they're providing,’” she said.  \nFor those families that move ahead in the process, evaluating college choices is tougher given recommendations from health officials to limit travel.“The hardest part is not being able to tour a campus of a college that my son has been admitted to in another state,” shared Sheila Bloedow, parent of a high school senior in western Washington.  \nAnd in many cases, even when visits are feasible, families see avery different version of the school than the one they hope their student will one day experience.  \nAnd accounts from current college students and their families often led to more handwringing.  \nMany parents have a story to tell about their students’ experiences living and learning amid a pandemic.“One of the hardest parts is realizing that for almost a year now, they haven’t been getting the true ‘college experience,” said Michelle Vecchiarello, of Hudson, New Hampshire.“Last spring, remote learning was subpar at best. This year has been better because my 19-year-old daughter is living off-campus and most of her classes are in-person, but she is still missing out on the social aspect of college life.
