My articles for HigherEducationAdvisor.com help prospective students make sense of the college search process, from comparing online and on-campus programs to understanding what to expect when requesting information from schools. I focus on practical, clear guidance that supports the site's matching tools and state-by-state directories, so readers can explore their options without feeling pressured. I bring a background in educational research and a decade of writing about higher education access for adult learners and career changers. My goal is to make the referral process transparent, so you know exactly how the site works and what your next step could be.
