College Research
There are more than 2,400 four-year colleges and universities in the United States, and many more globally. As college selection Consultants, we are continually learning about schools, their programs, and the students who love them. We research, network with other experts, and hit the road often.
In 2019 alone, we visited more than 40 colleges and met with admissions officers and students. Our travels were hampered during the pandemic, but we overdosed (nearly) on Zoom meetings with admissions offices, virtual tours, and specialized webinars for school counselors and independent educational consultants. And we are back on the road in 2023, visiting colleges across the country.
Here's a sample of photos from our travels, followed by a list of the schools we've visited.
