Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Sign up for a free SparkNotes account and take the "College Fit" quiz. This quiz analyzes your personality and lets SparkNotes recommend a variety of colleges and universities they think fit your personality and learning style.
2. Research the colleges SparkNotes recommends, or type in a college name in the search bar for all the information you need about a college. SparkNotes gives you information about the demographics, admission requirements, degrees offered, tuition and fees, financial-aid packages, campus setting, housing options, student activities and organizations, sports and campus security.
3. Read the free articles for information about financial aid, buying books, studying, drinking and college, fraternities and more. These articles are conversational rather than technical and are a great way to familiarize yourself with the college process.
4. Go on the message boards and ask questions or give advice. Here you'll find students with situations similar to your own, and you may even get some of your questions answered.
5. Compare your choice schools to each other using the SparkNotes comparison charts. You can choose up to three schools and compare their admissions, tuition, demographics and general school information.
