Research Colleges
The College Board's BigFuture website is a great way to start your college search.
College Research Worksheet
Below is a link for a generic College Research Worksheet. I encourage you to make a copy of it and change it to make it your own. For instance, you can add a section or delete a question to list what is important to you. It is often hard to remember what each college offers when you are researching and it helps to write it down as you go.
NM College Guide
The link below will take you to a NM College Guide. It gives details for all of our NM colleges including costs, admissions information and fast facts.
Career Information
Below are some links you might find helpful if you are interested in exploring careers, looking for a job or creating a resume.
Tip: If you go to Google Docs and click on Template Gallery at the top of the page, you can click on the General tab and scroll down to Resume. These are templates that make it a lot easier to get started with a new Resume.
