So you’re looking for the right college? I’ve been there, and I know it can be difficult. On the upside, if you’ve just started to look for the right college you’ll be pleased to know that there are loads of good ones to choose from. On the other hand, too much choice can be a bad thing. To help narrow it down, there are a few handy websites online that I’m going to share with you.

A good place to start. The free education guide does what it says – it’s a comprehensive guide to over 1900 colleges. Once you’ve entered your user information (it’s free to join), you can then select to receive information from colleges that you think might be right.

On the other hand if you’re clear about the degree you want to do, but aren’t sure which college would be best for you then check out Degree Detective…

Degree Detective takes away a lot of hard work if you know what kind of program you’re interested in. Join this site, and DD will use its clever algorithm to match you with the right college. The other cool thing about this service is that it’s free, and might throw up some options you hadn’t considered before. Give it a try!

This site is great if you know the career you want, but you’re not sure how to get there. For instance, if you want to be a nurse, you can select that as your search criteria (along with a lot of other fields) and the website will take care of the rest. It can also give you a good idea of the kind of salary you can expect from various professions. This site is also a free resource.

Do you want to take a psychology degree? Are you looking for related programs such as family/marriage therapy or social work? Then this site is for you. Quickly get matched up to lots of good schools where relevant programs are offered.

Considering a degree in the criminal justice field? Forensic science? Police training? This site has loads of information on great schools that would be suitable for you. Again, it’s free to use – just type in your details and get matched immediately. A massive time-saver!
