This Facilitator Guide provides you with everything you need to successfully run a Crazy College Simulator and adapt it to meet your organization's logistic and geographic needs.

1. Crazy College Simulator Facilitator Guide
By Amanda Munoz & Hannah Sloan
Program Overview:
Students must successfully navigate a year of college without missing any essential components in the
following areas: academic, social, financial, and day-to-day living. What they choose to do—and
when—ultimately determines whether or not they will be successful in this endeavor. This program
was created to prepare teens for college in a hands-on, interactive and fun way. It is meant to help
them realize that they may not be able to accomplish everything without help and guidance and that
they may need to rethink their game plan when they get to college.
Length: 1 hour (60 minutes)
 40 minutes of CCS
 5 minutes of gathering students for discussion
 15 minutes of discussion
When the program begins, everyone must go to the Financial Aid Office, followed by the Academic
Advisors Office. Students can then decide if they want to start passing their classes by completing
assignments or fulfilling their work-study and athletic training requirements (if such requirements are
mentioned in their financial aid award letters). Meanwhile, facilitators will guide students through the
activities at each station and draw random scenarios from a fishbowl every few minutes. Participants
will need to interrupt whatever they are working on to complete the scenarios. Aside from scenarios,
participants move about freely until everyone gathers together to discuss what the students are taking
away from the experience. While it’s a good idea to have some key points you want to touch on in the
discussion, be prepared to go where the students take it.
Assembling Your Team
To make your Crazy College Simulator a success, you will need a team of enthusiastic individuals. If you
plan on running all the stations, you would ideally want no fewer than 10 people. By having “floating”
facilitators instead of individuals assigned to be the professor to each class, you could run it with fewer,
but more signage would be needed. Community collaboration is a great idea for the Crazy College
Simulator, not only to get the manpower to run it, but to advertise the event to more students. Some
professionals that might be a great fit include high school teachers, college professors, librarians,
financial aid administrators, youth mentors, and others who work with students in your community.

2. Setting Up
CCS Stations
Each of the following will need a designated space. Consider using tables, chairs, posters, dry erase
boards, signs, tape outlines on the floor, or extra rooms.
 Financial Aid Office
 Academic Advisor Office / Counseling
 Library
 Cafeteria (unstaffed) – with snacks
 Fraternity/Sorority
 Involvement Fair (unstaffed)
 Home/Football Field/Anywhere referenced in scenarios drawn from the fishbowl (unstaffed)
 Classes:
o English Literature
o Physics
o Calculus 101
o Philosophy
o Chinese 101
o Art 102
o Phys Ed*
o Comms 100
o Beginner’s Theatre
o History 240: Modern Geopolitical History
*Phys Ed is the same station used by student athletes for mandatory practice(s) to keep
their athletic scholarships
Running the Stations
Print out the station guides and give a copy to each station facilitator. Each station will have its own
assignments or activities, but keep in mind that they may be interrupted at any moment if a student is
called away in a random scenario. If your station is a class, students may also come to your station to
explain that they must go “home” for some scenario. Using your creativity, respond how you think a
college professor might if they were missing a class for that reason! You can add classes or change
assignments as needed to work with the books in your library.

4. How it all startedandworked:
In Illinois we have a state financial aid agency called the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC).
Since 2009, ISAC has hired recent college graduates to make up the “ISACorps.” These ISACorp
members come into schools and public libraries around Illinois providing programs about becoming
college-ready, filling out the FAFSA, and so much more. Individual programs, while educational, were
not drawing in the teens like they really should. Our representative, Amanda Munoz, and I (Hannah
Sloan) worked together to make a program that is both educational and fun—and we succeeded. We
met a few times to bounce around ideas before deciding to do the Crazy College Simulator.
Knowing the teens that I serve, I knew that they would have to be extremely active in order to have
fun, so we decided to simulate a year of college in one hour. We knew we would need help, so we
went recruiting. Amanda knew someone named Paul Anders at Triple Threat, an at-risk youth
organization that is just across the street from the library. I had just worked with Eric Dohm at Big
Brothers/Big Sisters as well as Kathy Bartel, the librarian at the Waubonsee Community College here in
downtown Aurora. Amanda and I had contacts for the career counselors (Andrew Rathje & Sue Fowler)
at the two main public high schools. After all of these wonderful people were on board, I contacted
one of my old Teen Advisory Board members who is in a fraternity at Northern Illinois University, about
an hour away. We all met once in person to hash out some of the bigger plans and then I started a
facebook group where together we all bounced around even more ideas and made the program
fantastic!
There were a lot of elements going into this program, so I tried to make it all bullet-pointed as we went
along so we could all keep track. In order to get their financial aid packet, teens were given a form to
fill out that was our mini version of the FAFSA. When they got their financial aid packet, they learned
what they had to do to get the money from their scholarships. They then went across the room and
signed up for as many classes as they wanted and put their name in a fish bowl.
Then classes began. Each table around the room had a class name and an assignment. Each was set up
differently. Some had books on the tables with the homework sheet where all the answers could be
found in the books (Calculus, Chinese & Physics). Some had a box with scraps of paper in it. Teens
would need to reach in and argue for or against something (Philosophy) or act out what was on the
paper without speaking (Beginners Theatre). Comms was another class that had a box with random
slips of paper. These were a bunch of random topics that are relevant today. Teens had to grab 3 topics
and present on those topics. History class had a short video that they needed to watch for the answers.
Gym class attendees (or those with athletic scholarships) had to do workouts with the volunteer from
Triple Threat outside the programing room where they set up an obstacle course. Art class was set up
so the teacher (a current TAB member) asked them to draw something like a clown and then graded
them on their picture. The teachers had a lot of power so I had no problem getting my teen advisory
board members (TAB) to help out and fill in as teachers for this event.

5. The event room was set up so tables lined the walls around the whole room, but we extended this to
include one of our study rooms as the library and the gym took over the open seating area in the teen
space, but on the far wall was a sign that said “HOME/STADIUM/HOSPITAL. At random moments the
Academic Advisor would shout out emergencies and events that happen to college freshmen every
year. He would reach in the fish bowl and pull out an event and then, if needed, pull out a teen’s name
before directing, “You ran out of clean underwear! Run home!” They would then have to run “home”
(across the teen space). Some slipss would have them petting a dog in the counselor’s office or talking
to him. Most ended up with the teen running home. It got very exhausting for the teens and amusing
to us adults, but the teens loved it!
If students were falling behind in a class (they got a lower grade on their assignment than they wanted)
they could go sit in the “library” for 5 minutes and up their grade in one class. They were given laptops
and got to play educational games about doing research. The Waubonsee Community College
Librarian, Kathy Bartel, came up with these. The library is also one of the two places we had set up
work study assignments. In the library, work study was to put books in call number order. The other
work study available was in the (unmanned) cafeteria. We had a sign that said “cafeteria” and a sign
next to it that had instructions for the assigned task. We wanted them to do some monotonous task
but we didn’t want it to be messy, so we set out a box of paperclips and had them lay them end to end
in size order across the floor.
Between completing class assignments and running around, the teens were tired by the end. A few
minutes before we called them to a halt, we announced “FINALS” and had them write 2 to 3 sentences
on what they learned at the event. We gathered them all together after the 40 minutes had passed
and had them sit in a circle. Once they were all gathered together, we talked about what they learned
for about 15 minutes. Teens asked questions and got to talk about their expectations of college, and
we answered their questions and told a few of our own stories from college freshman year.

6. Financial Aid Office
Since most of the financial aid process takes place at the beginning of the Crazy College Simulator,
several facilitators can help out at this station. Once students have completed the financial aid process,
you are then free to run other stations or call out the random scenarios and guide students through
them.
Facilitator:
1. As each student arrives, give him/her the Financial Aid Documents page. Explain that the
Entrance Loan Counseling and Master Promissory Note sections are only required if they wish
to accept the loan(s) listed on their award letters. Students may be confused by the FAFSA
questions. As needed, tell them they are real questions from the FAFSA, but they can make up
answers for the Crazy College Simulator.
o Alternate form process: This way is more realistic. Take the Financial Aid Documents
pages and cut to separate the FAFSA from the Entrance Loan Counseling and Master
Promissory Note sections. Give students the FAFSA. Once they complete it, give them an
award letter, then ask if they want to take out the loans offered. If they decide to take
out the loan, have them complete the Entrance Loan Counseling and Master Promissory
Note forms.
2. When a student turns in a completed Financial Aid Documents, give him or her an award letter.
As applicable, explain that they must complete work study tasks to earn that money and
athletic training to earn the athletic scholarship if they have received one.
o Optional: Give students the option of commuting/living off campus to bypass housing
and meals expense. If they do, they must run “home” every 5 minutes. If they choose
this option, cross out the housing and meals expense on their award letter. Adjust Cost
of Attendance/Net Price accordingly by subtracting $8,475.
3. Direct student to the Academic Advisors Office.
4. Once all students have completed the financial aid process, go help out with a different part of
the CCS.
Materials Needed:
 Pens or pencils
 Financial Aid Documents: FAFSA, Entrance Loan Counseling, Master Promissory Note
 Financial Aid Award Letters

7. Academic Advisor’s Office
The role of the Academic Advisor transitions to that of the counselor when students are not adding or
dropping classes. Students come to the counselor when told to do so in random fishbowl scenarios.
Unless someone else is designated, you are in charge of calling out random scenarios.
Facilitator:
1. Tell students to choose classes by writing their names on the corresponding Class Sign-Up
Sheets.
2. Write each participant’s name on a piece of paper and add it to the name fishbowl so they can
be called on for random scenarios.
3. Give students a Self-Evaluation Checklist. Explain that they will try to check off as many boxes as
possible during the CCS. On the back side of the page, have students list the classes they are
taking and track the grades they get in each class.
o Alternate use of Self-Evaluation Checklist: Give students Self-Evaluation Checklists as
they first arrive at the Crazy College Simulator, explain how to use them, then direct
students to the Financial Aid Office.
o Optional: Require students taking fewer than 12 credits hours (part-time students) to
have a job. Students must run to “work” every 5 minutes OR do double the required
work-study activities. Classes will need to be assigned credit hours for this option (3-4
recommended for most; 1-2 for Phys Ed).
4. Once all students have selected their initial class-loads, start pulling scenarios from the fishbowl
and playing the role of the counselor mentioned in scenarios.
a. Fishbowl Scenarios: View and print list in CCS Station Guide.
5. Use the radio as needed to play music.
6. **Call out during the final 5 minutes of the program: Finals Week!!!! Go to the library and write
an essay on what you learned your first semester of college! (ALL)
Materials Needed:
o ClassSign-UpSheets
o Self-EvaluationChecklists
o Fishbowl Scenarios(cutapart)
o 2 fishbowls
o Pens
o Paper
o Dog stuffedanimal (“therapydog”)
o Stressball
o Radio

are also known as Skulls. Their colors are Black and Old Gold.
4. Allow participants to return to whatever they were working on, but inform them that they must
participate in a “community service cleanup event” when you call them.
5. At least several minutes after the meeting, announce the community service cleanup event.
Grab a pile of paper, deck of cards, empty candy containers or something similar, and dump it
on the floor and pretend it’s the river. Instruct the students to clean up the river!
o Optional: spread the “mess” out sporadically, not all at once, or have event around the
time of homecoming and the community service can be cleaning up after homecoming.

So clear, of victory!
As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!

60. Ideas for Adaptation
 After students register for classes, they must buy textbooks. This could include running to the
Bookstore/Online Store, using fake money, finding fake or real books that correspond to the
classes they registered for.
 Students must declare a major at the Academic Advisors Office. If they fail a class, they must re-
declare. Failing to declare means delayed graduation and increased cost.
 First several students who complete their work-study task can ignore meal call, book buying
call, or some random scenario(s)
 Students pay for Net Cost listed on their financial aid award letter with fake money.
 Students can choose to work off-campus to reduce their award letter Net Cost by $5,000, but
they must run to Work (located near Home/Football field, etc.) every 5 minutes.
 Students can choose to commute instead of living on campus. They must run Home every 5
minutes, but don’t pay room and board.
 Students who choose to sleep a designated amount of time are given a “cheat sheet” for 1 class
that says where to find the answers.
 Students attend a dance. Play music at 2x speed.
