The Student LoanDown: Seek and ye shall find (a college)

Seek and ye shall find (a college)

I've been encouraging one of my coworkers to blog about searching for colleges. Not for him—he already has a degree from Texas Tech —but for his daughter, who is a high school junior. They've been taking the last couple of weekends to visit some nearby campuses and see what they have to offer.

His daughter's college search criteria are pretty simple: She's hoping to study elementary education and wants to be within a day's drive of her hometown. Hey, that's more than I had figured out when I was her age!

Up to this point, my coworker has been impressed with the campuses he has seen. But I haven't been able to persuade him to put his thoughts down on (virtual) paper. So until I am, check out Peterson's Making the Most of Your College Visits or this college visit page from The College Board.

What are you looking for in a college or university? Any search tips of your own to share?
