How did you find your college and did you love yours (like most of the people I know love theirs)?

I loved my school, I guess you can sort of say it was my top choice, since I liked 2 equally and the one I chose offered the most financial aid.

How I found my school: I was actually offered a scholarship from it during my junior year, it might not have been on my list otherwise since it was outside my ideal geographic area.

How I found every other school I applied to:

I had signed up for all possible mailings when taking the PSAT, SAT and I think the AP tests.

I randomly visited a few very different nearby colleges and did overnights with students, from that I learned some of my general preferences, small-medium sized school, in a suburban area, in the northeast, not religiously affiliated, research institution, with a strong study abroad opportunities, and lots internship opportunities. I didn't want a party school, but I didn't want a school devoid of life outside of academics.

From those preferences I used college search sites to match those preferences with my grades. I wasn't 100% on what I wanted to study so I looked at schools that had a variety of programs to meet my interests.

From there I visited all schools and refined my list.

Basically figure out what's important to your nephew's college experience, what matches his academic level with a few schools above and below, and visit and interact with current students

I transferred a lot but the school I graduated from I actually was at, left, and felt like I wanted to go back because I should have never left and did so. Yeah it took me an extra year to graduate but I learned more about myself in that year and the extra experiences I had than probably if I stayed at that school when I entered it the first time (do I recommend that people do what I did, no, do I feel I would not have broken out of my shell had I not taken this course, yes).

So how did I find that school? I knew I wanted small schools in a certain state close to home. I narrowed my list down to five, only wanted to apply and visit four, used a selection method that people will think I'm crazy for to get list down to four so I will not divulge, visited all four school, and fell in love with the one I ended up graduating from. What I liked about it was the small size, friendly people, and no Greek life (this was a big thing for me). As I was there (and part of the reason I went back) was because I liked the small classes, helpful profs and staff, and diversity.

This school was actually easy to get in to but it's not like a party school where people loko at you strange for wanting to study or anything like that. I was friends with a lot of dedicated, smart people and had no problems.

Good luck helping out your nephew!

I transferred once and then loved my college! It wasn't my 1st choice, but I was able to become involved and _that_ made me love the entire experience.

Mine I found by church affiliation, however every year the College Board publishes a book called The College Handbook (your local library should have this if you don't want to purchase) in it, it lists practically every college in the US along w/ summary and contact information.

One thing your nephew may find helpful is to get to know himself a little more, this will help him find more direction in choosing. Public? Private? Small (where the professors know him)? Large (where he may just watch a Prof on TV or have a TA)? Does he want to go Greek? Play sports? Live on campus (usually the best way to make a connection to the school) or off campus?

I found my first college (and colleges I applied to) with the help and guidance of my parents. While I did get into my first choice school, it wasn't such a great experience for me. It was not a good match, but after taking classes at other schools, I was pleased to learn that my first experience was not representative of the college experience on the whole.
