Kicking Off Your College Search

College can feel daunting in all aspects and comes with a surplus of questions like: Where do I start? How do I apply or write essays? How will I pay for it?

One of the first things you should do is research possible college options online. Niche is a great resource for looking at what current students and alumni have to say about a school. It breaks the school down in a "report card" format that makes it easy to find details of what you're most interested in. You can look at school rankings, offered academics, admissions process and campus life, all adding up to a final "grade" for the college.
