Choosing the perfect college or university and the application process is one of the most important, albeit nerve-racking, times of a student's career. The college search is a very fun but crazy experience. Even after receiving that much anticipated acceptance letter, there is the minor question of how to pay for college - which can cost between $35,000 and $100,000 at the present time.
However, today's college bound students and their parents
are in luck. The entire application process is made a
bit simpler by the excellent array of Internet resources
now available. Not only can you choose the perfect school,
you can also go online to "tour" the campus,
register and prepare for admissions tests, apply for admittance
and fund your education. You can even learn about life
on your favorite campus, review the student handbook,
read the school newspaper and meet your professors- all
online.
To help you on your way to the perfect college
search experience, below are a list of great
college search resources. Here you will find introductory
articles, links, virtual tours, school rankings, on-line
registration for entrance exams, test preparation, on-line
applications for admissions, resources for financial aid
and more, all offering assistance with this complicated
and seemingly daunting process.
