Researching Colleges

Now that you know what is important to you, you can start to determine which colleges have what you want. Once again, the best place to start may be the school counseling office. Below you will find a list of the reference materials that are available in the school counseling office. Many of these materials can also be found in the library, or you may choose to utilize the Internet to do some of your research.

REFERENCES AVAILABLE IN THE SCHOOL GUIDANCE OFFICE

A. The CHOICES PROGRAM is available in the school counseling office and provides easy access to current factual information about colleges. You should make an appointment to use the CHOICES PROGRAM during the winter or spring of your junior year.

B. COLLEGE CATALOGS and view books are available for browsing and loan. College catalogs give information about college courses, activities, and other specifics about the college. View books are about the size of a magazine and present a quick overview of the college. Many times the view book will also contain an application for admission. You may wish to request your own catalog and application materials using the suggested letter on the next page.

C. COLLEGE VIDEOTAPES are available from some colleges, which may give you a better feel for the college than a catalog can give. You may sign out a tape for home viewing with the school counseling assistant.

D. ADMISSIONS REFERENCE BOOKS
Peterson’s Four Year Colleges
Peterson’s Two Year Colleges
Peterson’s Scholarship, Grants, Prizes
Peterson’s College Costs & Financial Aid

E. OTHER REFERENCE BOOKS
Occupational Outlook Handbook

F. There are also many other yearly publications, brochures, and manuals that can help you prepare for college and life.
