How To Find the Perfect College for You

Choosing the perfect school can be tricky. Here are some things you should keep in mind when considering schools.

Determine Your Area of Interest

Do you want to study art? Business? Science? If possible, consider what major you're interested in within that field. You can narrow down the search based on schools that offer your program.

Visit the Campus

Do you want a small school or a big one? Urban or rural? Can you envision yourself walking around as a student there? Explore your options to find what type of school is best for your needs. Also think about the extended campus — how do you feel about the neighboring area?

Think About Extracurriculars You Care About

Are you interested in athletics? Performing arts? Greek life? Community service? Explore the extracurricular options to see if the university would be a good fit outside of the classroom.

Determine Any Additional Support Services You May Need

Do you require accommodations and accessibility support? Do you want a school with a neurodiversity support program? Is there a tutoring center? Before you choose a school, it's crucial to ensure they can support your unique needs.

Sit in on a Class

Reach out to schools to see if they allow for class visits or have the opportunity to shadow students for a day. This can give you perspective on a day in the life as a student at that school.
