Hi everyone,
We’re editors with the San Francisco Chronicle’s California College Guide.
(Why are we posting here? The Chronicle has partnered with College Confidential to bring the information from our California College Guide to this platform. We’re looking to hear more about how people are searching for colleges in California, and what kinds of information and tools are the most important to you.)
We’ve been doing some reporting recently on what counselors say are the most common factors right now guiding families on which colleges to research and visit, how that has changed over time, and which tools are essential to this process.
But we’d like to hear your thoughts (and to be clear, this is just for discussion; we won’t publish any of the commenting here in our articles or guides.)
What are the tools you’re using to research schools and why? Where do they fall short? What kinds of information have been the hardest to find, and how have you dealt with that?
