As of late, my parents, friends and counselors at school have been talking A LOT about colleges and it's starting to freak me out.

I'm a 16 year old junior in high school, so it's REALLY time I start picking out where I want to go. I'm pretty much set on what I want to do as far as a career goes, but I don't know which college I want to go to, which is pretty bad seeing as that will determine my career path?!

So, like I said: I don't know where to start! I know I want to stay in state or go to a neighboring state, but how should I go about researching, choosing, and whatnot?

Thanks :)

Talk to your counselor again. The counselors at my school have nifty little search engines that you can put in the major you're thinking of pursing, the state you want to go to college in, and a few other attributes that you'd like in a college.

Find out if your school uses Naviance. It's one of these search engines, and it's a life saver.
