Applying to the colleges that provide the best academic, social and financial fit for you requires a thoughtful and focused approach. Affordability is an important part of creating a balanced college list. Learn how to do the research so you are casting a wide net and creating a list of colleges that include public, private, reach, reasonable, financially attractive and safety schools. Information presented will be helpful for freshmen or sophomores who are just beginning to think about college, for juniors who are beginning to create a list of potential colleges, and for seniors who want to make sure their list of colleges is balanced.
