My school’s post-secondary transitions counselor recently told me about College Confidential because she is very impressed by it. College Confidential provides students with a wealth of information and tools for choosing a college, applying to college, and paying for college.

After being accepted and figuring out how to pay for college, students can come back to College Confidential to learn about what to expect in their first year and how to thrive as a new college student. College Confidential has a section called “Ask The Dean” where students can find answers to frequently asked questions like “will my writing be a problem in college?”

College Confidential doesn’t leave parents out of the mix. Parents and students can join discussion boards on College Confidential to share experiences and advice with each other.

Applications for Education
College Confidential is a good site for parents, student, and guidance counselors looking for college planning advice. A quick look at the discussion boards reveals that College Confidential has an active community of parents, students, and educators.
