College Counseling Resources

You don't necessarily need to pay for formal courses to learn more about college counseling. Again, it really shouldn't be so complicated, and here at Easy Access, we are trying to simplify the process, and simplify the messages that students hear. This site is focused on resources for counselors, but for general college information, check out our College Info website.
