It's never too soon to start your son's or daughter's college search. After all, the choice of a college is one of the most important decisions your family will make. But how do you go about making this decision? Where do you start? Let's start in your own backyard.

Ohio has nearly 200 colleges and universities. To make it less overwhelming for you, we've narrowed the list to the state's best residential institutions, Ohio's "Sturdy 30" colleges and universities.

You'll learn how to clarify everything you and your student want in a college, including:

  • Cost
  • Academic majors
  • Study abroad opportunities
  • Cocurricular activities

    We'll walk you through the all-important "family college meeting," and then you can match what you and your child want with our detailed descriptions of Ohio's best colleges. Once you know the colleges you want to visit, we'll help you prepare for your family's campus visits: who to see, what to do, and – most importantly – what to ask.

    You'll find this Trail Map to be an important tool in picking a good-fit college. As a result, your child will be more motivated, happier, and likely to graduate. The trail starts here!
