The college search process often starts with questions like “What’s the best school?” or “Where can I get in?” But at College UnMazed, we encourage students and families to ask a better question: Which colleges fit who I am and what I need to succeed?

That’s where the 6 Keys of College Fit come in. These six areas help students create a personalized definition of college “fit” and evaluate potential schools with purpose, not pressure.

How as a parent, do you help your student see beyond the "emotional appeal" of a college and more objectively at the process?

The College UnMazed Counselor-Student Connectedness Scale is a short, easy to use 4-item scale. Counselors and educators can use this scale to evaluate how connected students are to the counselors in their schools.
