[ Countdown to College ]

Get Going!

Where to start

In a year or two, you'll head off to college to launch your life as a new adult—with new friends, new opportunities, and important new challenges. But first you need to face today's important challenge: finding the college that's right for you.

You can begin your search close to home. Check out college Web sites (you could start with Elmhurst's). Go to college fairs. Send away for college viewbooks and other brochures. And while you're gathering all this information, don't forget to ask yourself the key question: What am I looking for in a college?
