  The college search doesn't have to begin and end with the Ivies and the name brand schools. There are many schools out there to choose from — some known and some less known, all worthy of your attention. Here's some advice for trying to find the school that works for you.
  
  

  1. Start with who you are and why you are going.
  2. Size matters: Your college does not have to be bigger than your high school.
  3. A name-brand college will not guarantee your success.
  4. You don't need to pick a major to pick a college.
  5. Don't be scared by the stories.
  6. You can afford to go to college.
  7. You don't have to go to college right away, and it's never too late.
  8. The most important factor in choosing a college is fit.
