Preparing for College: While it is never too late
to think about college, early preparation can help smooth the way both
academically and financially. Parents should start saving―even if they can only afford to set aside
a small amount―when their children are very young. Academic
preparation for college also must start early. America's colleges and
universities recommend the resurces under this topic to help
parents and students prepare for college.

do you want to attend? There are many options, from community and
technical colleges, to small private colleges and large state
universities―each has its own
distinct advantages and benefits. Resources under this topic will
help you chose the right school for you, as well as provide information
about the college admission process.
