5 Ways to Go Green in your College Search

Looking for a way to be more environmentally friendly during your college search? Here are 5 tips to do just that!

Enough with the brochures and printed college information! Use college websites for research and bookmark pages that interest you. Ask colleges to send you materials electronically rather than sending you a massive packet in the mail!
Visit only the campuses that interest you the most. Did you know that a lot of colleges offer virtual tours on their website? Many colleges have taken this step to be more green while offering high school students a chance to see the campus before they arrive.
When visiting campuses, carpool! What could be more fun than visiting college campuses with your high school friends? Less cars on the road means less pollution and a blast of a road trip!
Attend a virtual college fair! Virtual College Fairs are a perfect way for you to go green during your college search. You can attend these fairs from home, download materials, go on virtual tours of colleges and even apply to schools online. No paper, no driving and no waste!
Submit your application online. Most schools offer online applications as a way to apply to their college. Take advantage of this. It is easier, faster and greener than the traditional paper applications!
