Questions on the Quad with Claire: Why Juniata? | Student Vlog |
In her final vlog for the Fall 2020 semester, watch Claire Alfree ’22 ask Juniata students why they chose to come to Juniata College. Claire’s vlogs focus on asking current Juniata students and community members an array of trivia and questions on the Campus Quad.
How to get into Juniata College
Don’t you just love the fall? The foliage is colorful, the air is brisk, and the crippling stress of college application deadlines are all around us.
Well, maybe the third one isn’t so great given November is prime time for many Early Decision and Early Action deadlines for colleges across the country. Even Juniata’s Early Decision deadline is November 15. Don’t worry though, our first Early Action deadline is December 1, so you have plenty of time to apply afterward.
With college application season in full swing, one question we consistently hear from prospective students in our admission office is:

Financial aid questions parents actually ask
The hard part is over! Your child was admitted to college. Now comes the “paying for it” part. We totally get it. Paying for college is a huge investment and one that should be taken with great care.

Parents and families of admitted students ask a lot of questions about financial aid, as they should. It’s complicated, and I’d be skeptical if you told me that you didn’t find it confusing at least at some point in the whole process. There are the standard questions that families tend to ask, like these, and they’re good ones. I mean, we wouldn’t put it on our website if they weren’t, right?
