You can do college research by asking your friends and family, meeting with your school counselor, searching online or reading up on colleges and universities at the library. When you start the college research process, keep an open mind.

Start by thinking of a few majors and careers you'd like to pursue, and search for colleges that offer programs in that field. Make a point to go see your school counselor, and communicate your questions and desires for life after high school. Ask them for recommendations on how to find the right college, and for other colleges that might work for you.
