Connecting Kids with College
Which College?
The thought of choosing a college with so many choices at times is overwhelming. Liberal arts schools, private or public, in-state versus out-of-state, technical colleges: the list goes on and on. By starting here, you can start to assemble a list of the schools you wish to learn more about. These resources will help with not only selecting schools but also deciding the "fit" factor as well.
The College Board, the same organization to sponsor the SAT, PSAT, and AP tests, offers a comprehensive list for families exploring colleges. A great option for students wishing to compare two or more schools and search for specific majors/degrees.
