Your school counselor is the best resource available to you for choosing a college. You should also attend college fairs and plan as many campus visits as possible.
There are also many online tools that can help explore your options, such as College Match Maker and our College Profiles.
When evaluating your options, it is important to know the three types of colleges and consider how distance education might fit with your learning style. Be cautious, however, not to be fooled by diploma mills. Getting a quality education should be your priority.
