CHOOSING THE COLLEGE FOR YOU

Some find their college, years exciting and profitable; others have a miserable time. Some take to a big university; others need a small college. Guided by your PSAT score you can make the choice between a difficult and a less selective college. Be sure to read the catalogs and visit the campuses that interest you, and take a balanced course load once you get there. With a 20-page list of schools categorized according to religious affiliation, size, presence of graduate students, cost and difficulty, this is better than no help at all--but most readers have access to Barron's and some sort of guidance counselor.
