Welcome to the Updated Colleges Site at BellaOnline!

I am glad that you stopped by to see the content. If this is your first visit, then I suggest that you take a look around the site to get a feel for what is available to you---free!

The Colleges Site is primarily geared toward students, whether high school juniors and seniors, college students, or even adults planning to return to school. Check out our Channels within the Colleges Site for a variety of articles and resources to help with your college planning.

Please feel free to send a note to the editor through the Colleges website if there are specific topics you would like to see addressed. I would be happy to hear from you!

Although the website's focus in on students' needs, I include resources helpful to parents, friends, family or anyone concerned about college admissions, enrollment, tips for success, financial aid, and career planning. Everyone is welcome, so please spread the word about the Colleges Site at BellaOnline!

Breaking news of importance regarding higher education will be discussed in our forum, so please stop by. First, you must register for membership on BellaOnline and it is free, of course!

Sign up for my weekly newsletter right here on the Colleges Site for timely tips about applying to schools, completing the FAFSA, taking the ACT or SAT, and asking for recommendations.

The Colleges Forum is a resource for all of you and I hope that you will take advantage of the ability to 'meet and greet' there.

Check out my posts in the Colleges Forum for discussions about College, as well as off-topic subjects, too.

Hope to see you there.

Best wishes with all that you are doing!

Sincerely,

Cheryl Likins, M.A.

Visit campuses of schools on your short-list. Contact the Admissions Office at those schools for information about scheduling a visit. Check the schools' calendar of events for sporting, arts and educational happenings this month.
