Choosing A College
Published by Greenhaven Press

This title introduces some of the factors young people consider as they evaluate their college options. Through articles from a variety of sources, the book provides an overview of practical considerations such as hiring an admissions adviser and making a college visit. It also examines some of the special issues of interest to women, students of color, athletes, and students with special needs. Finally, it offers students alternatives to the traditional college path, including community colleges, gap years, or opting out of college altogether.
