How do I start researching colleges?

Hey everyone! I'm a high school junior, and I'm starting to think about college. I'm not sure where to begin when it comes to researching colleges. Are there any resources or websites you'd recommend? Thanks in advance!

Hey there! It's great that you're starting to think about college early. When my child was in your shoes, we found a few resources quite helpful. First, check out websites like College Board's BigFuture (bigfuture.collegeboard.org) and Cappex (www.cappex.com) to search for colleges based on various factors like location, size, majors, and more. These sites also provide information on tuition, financial aid, and other important details. Additionally, try visiting college websites directly to explore their offerings and read about campus life. Don't forget to check out college fairs, where you can talk to representatives from different schools and collect brochures. Lastly, talk to your high school counselor, as they can provide personalized guidance and recommend colleges that might be a good fit for you. Good luck on your college research journey!
