Are there any sites, besides the Princeton Review and College Board, that can help me find colleges that fit what I'm looking for?  They have good search things that eliminates ones that don't fit and give you the best matches, but so far I haven't really found anything.  If you know any other sites, thank you!

I personally already knew which schools I was looking for, but I still did a college board search, with very vague results to figure out where I might want to go.

I think most importantly is figuring out location, what type of school you're looking for, and whether or not you can get in.  From there, I start narrowing things down.  If the school is in your area, visiting it can make a HUGE impact on what you want.

Personally, I would narrow down my results, and then go through the possible schools, and look at their particular websites and the like.  Otherwise, talking to people that have attended those schools, or even calling an advisor there might help you make more of a solid decision as well.

And don't forget... you can apply to MANY schools... and from there, see which one's accept you, and then make your final decisions based on more factors such as which major you were accepted for, which school is cheaper, the location, financial aid, etc.

So yes, I know I didn't give you any sites... but I figure with the two that you have, you may be able to get what you're looking for :).
