HSPS College Exploration Resources

The process of finding the RIGHT college for YOU is an in-depth and complex process. One thing is for sure, there is a college that is PERFECT for each and every student. You will need to consider many aspects, including:

  • The specific academic majors and programs offered by each college that align to your interests

  • The average academic requirements and your current overall student profile (GPS, SAT/ACT Scores, Rank)

  • The total costs per year and your ability to afford the costs

  • Scholarship and financial Aid opportunities

  • The location, travel time and costs, access to transportation

  • The typical weather and your preferences to climate

  • The social scene and access to communities that matter to you

  • Diversity of students

  • Post Graduate Job Placement Statistics and Internship Programs

  • The type of campus setting and surrounding environment (Urban, Rural, or any combination)

You should consider that you will be spending several years at the college and the environment is one where you should be able to see yourself growing with through the years.
