    Graduating from High School Soon? You’ve Got Many Options.

    Colleges and universities aren’t the only paths after high school graduation, but they’re a fantastic way for teens to invest in their futures. With so many higher ed institutions offering a vast array of programs and majors, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming.

    A growing number of alternative professional training options are also available, like community college, professional schools, and vocational or trade schools for high school students who don’t want to incur significant debt from a college degree or they don’t see themselves working at a traditional desk job. These students are considering skilled trades — like construction, auto mechanic, plumbing, electricity, HVAC repair and installation, solar energy — instead.  

    Whether you’ve got a specific career path in mind — like art and design and business/entrepreneurship to computer science, engineering, STEM, or the performing arts — or you’re still considering your options, TeenLife is here to help.

        Why Choose College?

        College is a time of exploration, discovery, and personal growth. Step outside of your comfort zone and explore the vast array of programs and opportunities available.

        A college degree offers numerous advantages for high school graduates:

        • Higher earning power: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, college graduates tend to earn more over time than people with high school degrees. They also experience lower unemployment rates. 
        • Increased independence: You’ll gain valuable experience managing your time, finances, and studies.
        • Exposure to new ideas and people: College provides a vibrant environment with diverse perspectives and opportunities to learn from professors and experts in your chosen field.
        • Preparation for specific careers: Many professions require a college degree.

        We’ve built a comprehensive database of colleges and universities around the world specifically tailored to high school students.

        Make College Affordable

        While college costs can be a concern, many universities offer scholarships and financial aid to help make education accessible. In-state tuition at a public university is less than tuition at a private institution. Use the filters to sort colleges aligned with your interests and budget.
