I would start researching colleges in your area, or think of a location you want to be in. Look at a variety of schools and see what you like best, a big school, small school, city vs. town, and then find safety colleges (ones you are confident you can get into) that you like along with some target and reach schools if you like them. Also look at costs (state public colleges are generally cheaper even with financial aid, however, some private schools do give a lot of aid and merit scholarships!) If you want to go into a certain program, nursing, engineering, business, etc. there are schools that specialize in that, however if you are undecided there are still lots of great schools that offer a variety of different options. There are lots of great articles and websites to search through colleges, I would recommend starting there. Collegevine is a great place to do so! If you want any more help or want me to clarify anything, please let me know! Best of luck :)

Collegeboard has a great search service for this! You can sort their list of colleges by campus size, locations, majors, price range, etc... it's a good place to start.
