• College & Career Planning
     
    Planning for college and your career begins with knowing who you are.  Your personality, your values, your interests and your skills will all play a role in helping you to make choices that are good for you. Finding a good fit college begins with considering things like: what field(s) of study you may want to concentrate on, knowing where in the country you'd like to live, and how much you can realistically afford to spend on college. You'll also want to think about where you'll be happiest: in an urban or rural environment? How about a big school or a small school?
