College Research Guide: start your search here
One page per college with the facts that actually matter for our families:
what families actually pay (not the sticker price), the support programs that come
with money and advising attached, what each campus is known for, and the links to dig deeper.

Every school page has the same three boxes
The real priceNot the sticker: what families at five
income levels actually pay per year (federal data), plus the opportunity program —
SEEK, College Discovery, EOP, or HEOP — that adds money and support.
How to applyWhich application, the test policy, and the
fee waiver. CUNY is free for NYC public school students, SUNY waivers cover 7 campuses,
Common App waivers cover the rest. Applying should cost $0.
The datesEvery deadline that matters for this school,
including honors programs and early rounds that close months before the regular date.
How to use this page: a strong list balances academic, social,
and financial fit. Pick a few schools that feel comfortable, a few that stretch you, and make
sure every school on your list has a realistic money story. Colleges marked
✈ fly-in will bring you to campus for free — see the
Fly-In & Overnight Programs page.
Deadlines and numbers were checked against each college's own site and
federal data (each card shows its date). Colleges change details — always confirm on the
official pages linked on each card, and bring questions to the College & Career office.
