Five  Myths About Community College

College Search

 

These are sites to explore if you're thinking about continuing your education and want to know which college / university / community college / vocational schools, offer which programs. College selection should be based on many factors, not just programs offered. For instance, the location of the school, the size of the community (is it rural or urban?), the size of the student population (is it a small school or a large one?), the social climate of the school, the sports programs offered, the housing possibilities, are all major components in making choices about which institution you want to attend. I can't stress enough the idea that if you are not comfortable and happy at your school, the odds of you doing well in your program are definitely reduced.

Once you've selected a few schools that interest you, be sure to visit them if at all possible. There is no substitute for actually walking around a campus, sitting in on a lecture, sleeping in a dorm, eating in the dining hall, etc. If it's not possible to actually visit a campus, come into the career center and see the catalogue for your possible school, check out the video on that school (we don't have all schools on video yet, but we're rapidly expanding our collection), or possibly do a "virtual tour" of a campus via the net.
