Finding the Right Colleges for You

There are over 2,000 four-year colleges in the United States for students to consider. How can families identify those schools at which their student will be happiest and most successful? This seminar will teach attendees how to be savvy college shoppers. We’ll share ways to recognize what types of colleges might be good fits and show attendees how to evaluate the many factors that need to be considered like size, location, and majors. We’ll even discuss how to visit colleges, a college planning ritual that sounds easy but can sometimes be as stressful as full-contact karate.

We offer these events free of charge as part of our mission to spread high quality, refreshing, up-to-date information on college admissions as broadly as possible, but space is limited and RSVPs are required. Email Nikayla at nikaylal@collegewise.com to reserve your spaces. See you there!

Getting into college has become a stressful affair. We’re out to change that. Collegewise is a college counseling company founded in 1999 on the belief that the college process should be an enjoyable one for families and that the most selective colleges don’t have the market cornered on great college experiences. Rhiannon earned an M.S.Ed. in Higher Education from the University of Pennsylvania and served as an admissions officer before joining Collegewise and establishing our Millburn office in 2013. Nikayla earned her M.Ed. in Higher Education at Drexel University and served as an admissions officer there for five years before joining Collegewise.
