the college comparison workbook

Not every college is the same. And not every student is looking for the same college experience.

At Meredith, we believe college is an investment in your future. It's one of the first steps you take as an adult that sets you on the path to the life you want. And while choosing the college that's right for you takes a little effort, it's time well spent if it leads you to the school that's the best fit for you.

This online "workbook" is designed to help you think through the colleges you are considering. Here, you'll be prompted to think beyond your initial reaction (though that is important information, too!) and weigh the benefits of each school.

When you're done, you'll have a printable summary sheet that provides some key points of comparison -- valuable information as you continue this conversation with your family, your admissions counselors, and others who are helping you make this important choice. It's easy to come back and do another comparison or revisit your profile -- just sign in using your email address.
