One thing’s for sure --- you’ll be collecting a lot of stuff! A major point of advice is to get and stay organized.

Your stash will include brochures, applications and a variety of paper and electronic information.

Experts suggest you purchase a file box (plastic or cardboard) and accordion style folders as well as a loose leaf binder and pocket dividers. Make a section and folder for each school you are considering.

• Make addition folders or dividers for key topics of interest such as rankings.
  
• Organize the information you gather for each school and topic.
  

Then sign up for Google Notebook, an excellent FREE tool for organizing your on-line information.

• You can create a folder for each college and topic of interest to organize your web pages, links, bookmarks and notes.
  
• Then clip and collect information as you surf the web and refer back to it later.
