Choosing a college is a tough job. Teens get advice and pressure from their parents and counselors with few adults being able to explain why a teen should look at one college over another. Picking between universities, for teens, is a decision that will affect the rest of their lives and shouldn’t be based solely on a parent’s alma mater or nearness to home. Instead, teens should look at what they want to specialize in and find the best colleges and universities that offer the appropriate programs. TeenLife.com lists more than 2,000 public and private colleges for teens in the US and abroad. We also have a growing number of online colleges that allow teens to get college credit while still in high school.
