What's the best way to research universities while applying?

Hey there! Starting your college search can be both exciting and a bit overwhelming. Rest assured, there are numerous resources out there to help you effectively research universities and find the best fit for you.

One popular website to consider is CollegeVine. They offer a range of services, including a college search tool that allows you to explore colleges based on your preferences. In addition, the U.S. News & World Report provides comprehensive rankings and information about various universities, while the College Board's Big Future website offers a college search tool and advice on the application process.

Don't forget to visit the official websites of the schools you're interested in, as they are the most accurate source of information on academic programs, tuition, financial aid, and campus life.

Lastly, consider talking to current students, alumni, or even attending some college fairs. They can provide valuable insights into the college experience that you can't find on a website. Good luck with your search!
