Education > College Life College orientation: How to assess your strengths and weaknesses

2 of 10

As a former college admissions counselor, I've talked to hundreds of high school students about their skills and ambitions.

For anyone but extreme Monopoly enthusiasts, Galactic Imperia is a disaster - I give it a 2 out of 5. This potentially quirky game is boring, ugly, buggy, and there's not much to recommend it.
