Laura Bussey
College Counselor
“I am happy to be quoted singing the praises of Credo students. They are thoughtful, intelligent young people who impress the college reps who have come to our campus as far more informed, engaged and engaging than most teenagers they meet. Many reps told me that the caliber of our students was the reason they prioritized a visit to our small school. I’ve often said that the best college search is one that includes a lot of self-reflection. That Credo students embraced this aspect of the search is one of many, many things that made my job a joy. Students didn’t just make a list of bumper sticker colleges; they looked more deeply at both themselves and the schools to craft a genuinely suitable list.”
