These are only some of the reasons why Woodbury University is a place to check out. Located in Burbank, California, over 1,200 students call Woodbury their home.…

Lake Forest College
Fly into Chicago, hop on a train or take a car and in about 40 minutes you’ll be in Lake Forest Illinois, home to Lake Forest College.

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Illini-ans unite. The pride at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and strength in community is super strong here. Which means students get not only the traditional college feel and major campus spirit, but also a friendly hello from basically anyone you walk past. For a large campus, about 33,000 undergrads, I do not get the feeling…

This is the beauty of college. Finding an environment that fits your needs SO well the opportunity to succeed is off the charts. Why? Because the students attending both of these…

Pacific Northwest Tour – Oregon State & Linfield College
Polar opposites here! We couldn’t have chosen two more different institutions to explore. Had we come a day earlier our flight would have been cancelled all thanks to a random snow storm, but lucky for us we landed smoothly and were off to a wintery wonderland just in time for the holidays. On our first…
