Why doesn’t the Commission recommend colleges to students?
A. Selection of a college is an individual decision. There are so many different types of colleges and universities (small, large, single-program, multiple-program, urban, rural, public, private) that matching a student’s interests and abilities to the characteristics of a college requires detailed information about the student and the organization. Information about colleges may be found in books and directories (available in many libraries), and students are advised to consult with their secondary school counselors or advisers. The admissions officers of colleges often are able to provide assistance, particularly information about the organization they represent. Increasingly, useful college information can be found on the Internet. The information available from the Commission is limited to that describing the organization’s status with the Commission.
