Summary:The aim of this study was to provide an overview upon rural area students' (N=43) attitudes towards school counseling. Therefore, our objectives were to: (1) highlight students’ unrealistic beliefs about school counselors’ academic training and about their work organization and ethics, pre and post an information session, and, (2) to evaluate students’ knowledge related to the school counselors’ activity, pre and post participating in the respective session. Through a single-group pre-test post-test experimental design we developed a three-phase study. Our results showed that (1) there are statistically significant differences between the averages of students’ unrealistic beliefs before and after the informing session and (2) that the students’ knowledge level before participating in the information session was significantly lower than after their participation in the session.
