College Research

Researching a college means that you set aside time where you are focused on learning more about what a college has to offer. In order to do this, you’ll mostly be reading, but you’ll also be taking notes and asking questions. To make the most of your research time, you’ll want to use something to keep you organized, such as a spreadsheet, text document, or physical notebook.

​

As you work through your list of colleges, you’ll find a method of research that works for you. Some students may start with a school’s official website and branch out from there, while others may prefer to get their first impressions of a school from previous students.
