College Search Guide is a Chrome extension designed to help students, parents, and professionals find the right college. It includes data on over 7000 U.S. colleges and lets you search by zipcode, city, state, or distance, as well as view campuses near you and explore top colleges by category, degree program, or location. You can compare private, public, 4-year, 2-year, and trade schools, see degrees offered, campus setting, housing availability, diversity, financial aid information, admissions details, tuition estimates, and more for each school.

Beyond searching, you can write reviews, bookmark favorites, and browse college sites directly from the app. The extension consolidates admissions information, program details, accreditation, campus security, and even student expenses to help you plan your path. It aims to deliver a comprehensive, user-friendly tool to support college exploration, and feedback or feature ideas are welcome to help improve functionality.
