In my process of finding information on college I've use many sources.  I find that college books are helpful but the Internet is even better.  You can go on the Internet and link to the colleges web site.  Your able to find information more quickly and you can even apply on-line.  You can ask questions and explore a greater number of colleges at the click of a button.  I find that my experience with using the web to find college information is great.  It helped me narrow down my choices and gave the college a good chance of influencing me on my decisions.  I recommend you use the Internet to do research on colleges.  There are many web sites you can go to, but my two favorite are www.collegeboard.com and www.edu.org
    These two web sites are easy to operate and fast to answer your requests.  Use these two web sites and forget about carrying heavy books and back problems.  With the Internet you don't have to look through a book and find a specific page, which takes up a lot of energy.  Get with the future of learning and use the Internet for your college search and other important mind boggling question.
