College Search Process

This worksheet takes students through a series of exercises in how to use the bucket method to sort and identify the colleges and universities that meet your needs and wants. At the end of the worksheet is a list of common terms used in higher education, as well as a list of resources to help you with exploring college options.

Designed by the Rural Peer Advisors - a team of current UW-Madison students from rural and small town communities - to aid high school students (grades 9-12) at the start of their college exploration journey.
