1. Speak to a Guidance Counselor. A high school guidance counselor can let you look through books and can help you on an Internet search to find the right college.

2. Talk to Family and Friends. Talk to family, friends and former students from your high school who have gone to college or are still in college. Ask them how they did their college search. Find out about their schools and what they like/don’t like about them.

3. Conduct your Own Online Search. There are a number of sites online to help you find colleges and universities.

4. Visit Schools. After you have narrowed down your search, you should visit some of your top choices. To visit a college, just call the admissions office and tell them you would like to visit. They will arrange a date and time for you to go there.

Here are some things you should do on your visit:

• Speak to the admissions officer
• Get a tour of the campus
• Speak with students to see what they like/don’t like
• Visit the dorms
• Sit in on a class that interests you
• Walk or drive around the community
