About P&C

Parents & Colleges

We think about colleges the way you think about colleges.
Your student trusts your college advice—now you have a trusted advisor too.

About Parents & Colleges

Parents & Colleges is a unique new resource to help college-bound students' most trusted advisors—their parents and guardians—navigate the college consideration process. With the combined expertise of prominent college admissions officials and one of the nation's leading educational services providers, we offer information and perspectives you won't find on generic search sites or among the many sources of college rankings.

On Parents & Colleges you'll find:

  • Objective, expert-written advice about colleges and the college admission process.
  • Tools and resources to help prepare for college, select the right institution, finance the cost of attendance and maximize your student's chances of success as an undergraduate.
  • Updates on timelines and deadlines relevant to you and your student's stage of preparation.
  • Information about colleges and universities that may best fit your student's and your family's needs.
  • An interactive community where you can meet other parents, share information and pose questions to college admissions officials and other experts.

The Parents & Colleges' Advisory Board is a diverse group of college recruitment and higher education professionals who share a singular passion: to help parents navigate the college consideration landscape and position their students for success in college. The Advisory Board reviews content presented on the Parents & Colleges website for accuracy, objectivity and relevancy to pre-college families such as your own. Board members are senior-level professionals in leadership roles on their campuses and within their organizations, and are not employees of Parents & Colleges.

College-bound students are the center of our universe at ConnectEDU, and Parents & Colleges is perfectly positioned to help us achieve our mission: to match the right students and families with the right colleges for everyone's mutual success and happiness. ConnectEDU is proud to provide the in-depth information, student-focused products and services and helpful tools students need to weigh their options and make informed choices on the programs best-suited to their individual needs.
