College Search Articles

Exploring colleges and finding schools that will be the right fit can feel a bit daunting to students, but it is also supposed to be exciting.  As you begin searching for colleges, it is critical that you know yourself and what is important to you.  That can be challenging though and, as I mentioned in many of our junior meetings, it can be hard for students to figure out what they want in a college because you haven't lived it yet.  So, it seems to me, that gathering information and resources from a variety of sources and considering different aspects related to colleges can be helpful in searching for the school that will be the right fit for you.  Below are a variety of articles connected to searching for colleges.  I hope they are helpful.
