With so many college choices available, it is easy to become overwhelmed.  Let’s face it, given the competition for getting into college, the rising costs of a college education, and the fact that there is not just one college that is right for you, the college search and selection process can seem downright scary!  

You may want to study a major offered at only a few universities or you may be looking for colleges that are close to home.  Perhaps you want to look for private institutions that are in or near a large urban area.  Or, maybe you have absolutely no idea what you want.  No matter where you are in this thought process, your counselor is available to help.

The fact of the matter is that the task of searching for a college is extremely personal. The key to a successful college search lies in your willingness to spend time exploring the many options available to you.  While many believe that the college research process begins in eleventh grade this is simply not the case.  In order to truly investigate your options, the earlier you start the better!

This site was developed as a guide to assist you in the college research and admissions process.  The combination of assistance from your counselor, this guide and the many resources posted to the Guidance Google Classrooms on a daily basis will enable you to move efficiently and effectively through this process.   Above all, it will help you stay organized and informed.

As you begin the college process, keep in mind the sage advice of some famous people.  Vince Lombardi said, “The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.”  Samuel Goldwyn said, “The harder I work the luckier I get.”  And Maya Angelou said “Nothing will work unless you do.”
