As you begin to think about applying to college, take time to think about who you are. Think about your goals, your likes and dislikes, your abilities and your resources.

Some Questions to Consider
Choosing the Nevada college that is just right for you requires research. This research must be done at two levels: externally and internally. The external research can be done on the Internet, by reviewing catalogs, visiting the campus itself, or by talking to students who have attended the college in question.

Here is a helpful checklist of questions/comparisons to research and review for yourself.
