Summertime is an excellent time to research colleges and think about where you might like to apply. Now that school-year activities are on hiatus, why not make the time to give the college search process the time and attention it deserves? Researching colleges is a good idea no matter what grade you are in—there’s no reason to put this off until the summer before your senior year.
Here are a few suggestions to get your summer college search started:
- Use an online search tool such as The College Board's College Matchmaker
- Look at school, department, and faculty websites
- Find schools on Facebook, join affiliated groups, correspond with current students
- Read school profiles in the Fiske Guide to Colleges
- Contact Admissions Officers at colleges and ask questions
- Visit campuses in person
These are only a few of many effective ways you can research colleges. Please visit my website
