College Board has rolled out their new college search page, and it is pretty impressive. There are a lot of informative articles, a step-by-step walk through the college selection process, and an interesting college search where you can select various criteria, such as size of school, distance from home, types of sports available, type of environment (city, suburbs, rural), and many other possible options. Each time you add another criteria, it will recalculate your list of colleges to consider. Obviously, if you are too specific, you can end up with only one or two, but this is a great way to generate some names to explore, and you might just find the perfect school that you never heard of before.
There is a section on careers, on paying for college, a planning section that starts where you are--whether middle school, 9th grade or up to 12th grade--and lets you know what are the next steps for reaching your goal. There are articles with advice for parents, as well.
