I was especially impressed with the "go to college" search option which is designed to help find the right college for you. You can enter the specifics you are looking for in a college, such as your intended major, which state you would like to attend college in, campus size, community size, campus activities, and cost. Based on your preferences you will be given a list of colleges that fit your criteria. This feature is especially helpful for those trying to locate campuses that offer a specific major that may not be available at all colleges, and also for those who want their college-bound student to find a college close to home. The site also offers information on career planning with another search option where you can find out what career may be for you (based on a self assessment), as well as what is required to get it. The website is a bit busy/overwhelming at first, but offers some excellent information for those just starting down the college-bound path.
