The links presented in this section of the New Jersey School Counselors Association Web site are provided to assist counselors, students and parents in exploring the many options and resources available on the Internet.

After exploring some of the sites linked on this page, it is important that you continue your search independently as more and better sites are being developed every day. Once you have searched career, college and financial aid sites be certain to use your email capability to gain more information from individuals. Many college home pages list the email addresses of alumni, professors, coaches and students. Write to them, asking questions about the school, the major or any other important information you want. You'll be surprised how many will write back and give you the "unofficial" information you are seeking. What better way to explore and analyze a college than by exchanging information with those on campus?

Other excellent resources are on-line campus newspapers and newsgroups that discuss your potential college or college entrance in general. Email and newsgroups are also excellent ways to explore possible careers. Newsgroup information can be accessed at Google's "http://groups.google.com" by entering your interest area in the search field. (Try "college admissions.") Many professions have trade association home pages where information can be gathered and questions answered. Use your search engines to find these sites.
