Your One-Stop College Resource Guide
 We know applying to college can be outrageously stressful, time-consuming and frustrating. That’s why we put together this college resource guide. These websites will provide you with everything you need to know- tuition and financial aid info, what real students think about their schools, information on the SATs- even which colleges and universities offer full-time kosher meal plans. So no more aimlessly Googling to figure out all that information- just check out these web resources:
Hillel.org
Consider Hillel the mother ship of all resources on Jewish life in college. We think you might find the following two Hillel sites particularly helpful:
- Hillel's Guide to Jewish Life on Campus: Have you ever wondered how many schools within a 10-mile radius of Los Angeles offer kosher dining options on Shabbat? Here's your answer! Search by location, type of college, Jewish population, Jewish amenities offered and more. This comprehensive search engine can help you narrow down your college pool with the simple click of a mouse.
- Hillel's Financial Aid Guide: In tough economic times like these, this guide should come in particularly handy. On this site, Hillel links you to dozens of financial aid resources- conveniently broken down by region- that gift and lend money especially to Jewish college students.
