The college search can be very confusing.  There are thousands of colleges out there; finding the right one for you can be a long process.  Here are some tips to help you narrow your choices.

  • Request information from the college regarding programs (majors), admissions, and financial aid.
  • Arrange for a campus visit by calling the Admissions office at the college.
  • Review choices by talking with professionals in your chosen career, parents, and school counselor.

There is also a COLLEGE COMPARISON WORKSHEET on www.collegeboard.org that allows students to make side-by-side comparisons of up to three colleges at one time.
