i have been looking for colleges ever since the 7th grade.

i am in the 10th grade, and I still haven't found one.
the only one i did find was in california (i live in VA) and its wayy too much much. plus the airline ticket prices to go there and back at holidays...
and the tuition is wayy too much. it would be 100,000 for a year. expensive.

so, that idea is in the garbage.

I am trying to stay in-state, but just a couple hours away. so i can still have my space and privacy.

I just can't choose!!

What I have been using is universityvisitorsnetwork.com. Mostly cuz they have these online visitor guides and the college I'm looking at are in them.

They don't have an online guide for every college however but they do have other information

Have you done any college visits?

I scheduled one...but my parents think Im too young so they cancelled it.



lol (sorry)

Well, tell them it's just a college visit and that's it actually rather normal (between my freshman year and senior year, I visited two campuses a year as part of a program I was in). It may just take some convincing for them.

No college should cost that much.  You'd be paying it off into your sixties.

stay in state or you'll be paying college debt forever...decide what you want to do first and then look for schooling
