Whom Do I Ask and Where Do I Look for College Information?

There are many resources available to find great information about colleges. Check out the following: Talk with your guidance counselor; review guidebooks like Fiske Guide, Peterson’s, Barron’s, or College Board. The Internet is a great source of information. You should also visit the individual websites of the colleges in which you are interested;  attend college fairs and meetings at your high school scheduled with admissions representatives; and thumb through college catalogs, videos, and brochures. Talking with friends, relatives, neighbors, coaches, teachers, etc. about college can be very helpful. Maybe one of them attended the college you would like to attend, or maybe they have some new ideas. Remember to stay organized by making files for those colleges.
