Wonderful Websites: TWO College Websites

Education.Com is my crush website of the week folks, and it has TWO amazing sections on colleges that any of you heading off to work in high schools MUST check out. First, their "College Hub" (http://www.education.com/special-edition/college-and-beyond/) is extremely extensive and includes everything a gal (or guy) could want-- choosing a college, college alternatives, planning for financial aid, paying for college, transitioning to college, the list goes on! They also have a nice little section on job preparation, summer jobs, resumes, career development, and more, which of course made made my heart go a-flutter with joy. After you're done perusing through there, head on over (with your students) to the "Find a College" page (http://www.education.com/colleges/) where they can search colleges by location, admissions criteria, interest, etc, as well as community colleges and career trainings. Overall great site and easy-to-use.
