Only a handful of years ago, embarking on the college application process was quite mundane. Imagine sitting at a kitchen table cluttered with college guide books the size of novels, flipping through brochure after brochure containing the same information about each school: average GPA, acceptance rates and degree programs. So what did people base their decisions on back then – whichever college had the highest amount of students? How nice the campus appeared on the brochure cover? Boring!
Those of us in the modern age of technology are lucky enough to have social media resources as a tool while searching for potential colleges. Social media sites promote discussions by real people with real experiences at these schools, providing relevant information to any college seeker (and to the curious parents of college seekers).
After using Degrees.com to pinpoint schools that offer your degree program, try searching for those schools on your favorite social media outlets, such as Facebook and Twitter, or on education-specific social media sites, such as College Prowler or The College Blog Network. Whether you’re looking for a school with the nicest dorms or a school with the best nursing program, utilizing the internet to research colleges will ultimately help you find the right one. Happy hunting!
