NACAC 2025 in Columbus, Ohio - Let's Play the Global Education Family Feud

Help us to populate answers within our upcoming Global Education Family Feud session at NACAC 2025.

PLEASE help us out by answering these survey questions with open-ended answers related loosely to global college admission. Does not matter if you are are involved in international education or not. We prefer the answers to come from larger sample group beyond our intled community.

If you are participating in NACAC 2025, please join us on Thursday, 18 September 2025, at 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EDT, in Room C150/151 within the Greater Columbus Convention Center, to play the Feud.

Answers are anonymous, and the results will not be used for any other purpose.

For those unable to be here in Columbus, Ohio, I will aim to reveal the answers next week after the conference.

Thank you in advance! Very much appreciate everyone for contributing answers to our Global Ed Feud!!!
