Overview
In this section, you will explore what "college fit" really means to you. Finding the right college is about more than just getting accepted; it is about choosing a place where you will feel supported, challenged, and inspired to grow. It is also not about picking a well-known name or going where your friends are going. Choosing a college is about finding a place where you can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
By the end of this section, you will be equipped with the information to make a more informed, confident choice, as well as start identifying the specific college characteristics that align with your personality, goals, and learning style.
