Planning your College Search

collegesearchWhere and How to Start:

  • Begin by taking your own personal inventory. You can make the best use of your time by knowing what you are looking for in a college.
  • What college-related considerations are most important to you and why? Here are some, but not all, of the factors you might want to consider: location, academic programs, student diversity, social life, sports programs/ activities, job. Graduate school placement record, size, internships, facilities, reputation, class size, student/ faculty ration, family tradition, and scholarship/ financial aid.
  • Write down your own list of what is important to you with the most important item at the top.
  • Update and review your list regularly and make adjustments as your priorities change.

This sheet can give you some guidelines for searching for colleges.

  • Transferology

    Transferology is a nation-wide network designed to help students explore their college transfer options. Students can answer the question "Will my courses transfer?" by adding coursework, exams, and/or military learning experiences to see how many schools in the Transferology network have matching courses that may be awarded when they transfer. They can also find out what their options are for taking classes over the summer (or whenever) at another school to transfer back to their current school by using the "Find a Replacement Course" feature.
