There are a number of points that you will want to consider when you start your college search. More than anything, this will at least help cut down the number of options that you have after performing a college search. It doesnt matter if you are doing your college search online or if you are working through the hundreds of prospectuses that your high school has, the points to consider are the same.
Before you start your college search you should identify your priorities. Now these are not going to be the same for everyone, obviously. It is important that you list your priorities in the order that they matter to you and not what you think is expected. Here are some of the most common points to consider to help you in your college search, they are in alphabetical order so as not to place them in any apparent order of priority:
* Areas of Study
* Athletics
* City Size
* Disabilities
* Ethnicity
* Location
* Student Body Size
The first point to consider in your college search is which major you want to take. It may sound an obvious point but a lot of people begin their college search without having any idea what they want...
