College Search

Working with a college counselor is a wonderful way to learn about colleges that would be a great match.  There are also many options for online college searches and building your college list. Here are some of my favorites:

• National Survey of Student Engagement: This is way more valuable than standard college ranking lists. The annual survey provides an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending college
  
• College Navigator from the National Center for Education Statistics
  
• College Scorecard released by Obama administration Feb 2013
• College Data
  
• Big Future by The College Board 
  
• College View
  
• College Net
  
• Brain Track: My favorite site for searching colleges in countries outside the United States 
  
• Education USA: the place for international students to learn about US colleges
  
• College Week Live: offers free online chats with college representatives
  
• College Portraits: My favorite way to do side-by-side college comparisons
  
• College Results: A quick reference tool of the graduation rates of colleges you are considering 
  
• College Insight: from the Institute for College Access and Success, offers clear info about affordability, diversity and student success
