Helpful Links

These sites helped, and continue to help me in my college experience. Check them out!



You create an account and then based on your major and age, Fastweb searches for colleges offering your major,
scholarships that you are eligible for, and even internships in your area. You can click on the colleges, scholarships and
internships to find out more about them and even compare and contrast one college with another. 

You can rent college textbooks online instead of buying them. It is much cheaper than buying them, for example, my
psychology book was only $30 to rent, but if I had bought it, it would be about $120. As well as renting, you can also sell
used textbooks to Chegg.

Although it's primarily known for providing SAT testing information (which I would highly suggest viewing),
Collegeboard.com also provides college profiles, scholarship opportunities, tips for writing college essays and filling out
applications, and you can even create your own college plan. 

This will help anyone in any year of schooling. It is an online cheat sheet that helps with MLA and APA Formatting. 

If you need help filling out an application, writing an admissions essay, choosing the correct college, or finding transfer
information, this is one of the best sites to go for help. There are college admissions counselors on call at all times by
phone or email.
