U101 College Search: Links to Learning
http://u101.com/
Too bad this site (and the Internet) didn't exist when most of us were still high school
juniors. It's a listing of 3000+ colleges and universities in the U.S. plus Canada, the
Caribbean, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Suppose back in those days a friend had said "how
about Bay State in Massachusetts?" Had this site existed you would have clicked on
the "Massachusetts" button, opening a page of links for every college in that
state, located Bay State (it's in Boston), and clicked - thus arriving at Bay State's home
page, where you could learn about the college and its specialties (it's a private two-year
college geared to help students enter business, health, or fashion areas). The site also
has helpful links for college planning, including a timeline for one's junior and senior
high school years, how to line up letters of recommendation, etc.
