Hey guys, I'm a visual person and I believe it helps my motivation to aim for a goal if I can envision it. I've been trying to find images of the most selective colleges in the US for some inspiration. Any idea where I can find photos or resources for this?
Sure, a good visual representation can indeed help build motivation and make your goals feel more tangible. There are several ways you can visually explore the top colleges in the US.
First, most of these colleges have comprehensive websites with photo galleries and virtual tours. You can usually find these under the "Campus" or "About" sections of their websites. They often include high-quality photos of significant campus landmarks, student activities, and aesthetic shots of the campus at different times of the year.
Second, you might want to check out the college's official Instagram page. These social media profiles often contain candid shots of student life, events, campus scenery, and anything else part of the college's culture.
Third, consider utilizing Google Maps' satellite and street view features. It can give you a virtual walkthrough of the college town, enable you to view various buildings, and give you a feel of the neighboring area.
Lastly, there are YouTube channels or university bloggers who conduct tours, day-in-the-life videos, and offer personal insights into the college life. These can be particularly helpful as they often show parts of the campus or aspects of student life that official resources might not highlight.
Just remember, while images can certainly inspire you, they don't tell the complete story. Make sure to also research the educational programs, student organizations, academic culture, and more to ensure it aligns with what you're looking for in a college.
