Educated Quest College Insights
Educated Quest is the rare college admissions site that addresses perceptions of “sacred cows” in the college search. These college insights separate fiction from the truth. They help students and parents consider and compare colleges best fit to their interests and needs.
Educated Quest college insights are quite unique to Web sites that offer college admissions advise or college profiles. You will not find these college insights in college rankings books or the guides that you find on the shelves at your nearest bookstore. You will find them only here at Educated Quest.
My college counseling services at Educated Quest give you further insights, personalized to your student’s and your family’s interests and needs. I look forward to having you as a client and sharing my personal insights with you! Have a question or would like to know more about how to consider or compare colleges? Contact me at stuart@educatedquest.com or call me at 609-406-0062.

I had hoped to visit the University of Denver at a conference last June. But that was cancelled due to COVID. The opportunity to visit in person could come next year, but in the meantime I took a virtual visit. I gathered some photos on Pinterest for you. There’s also […]

Wheaton College (MA) is an excellent liberal arts college that gets lost among the more famous names in New England. I have gathered a few photos of Wheaton College on Pinterest. There’s also a nice 2.5 minute commercial for the college that was made by students in the Film and Media […]

During the fall I wrote that public honors colleges could be winners within our COVID reality. I have had the privilege to visit some in person, but none as large as the Commonwealth Honors College at UMass-Amherst. I had an opportunity to take a short virtual tour of the Honors […]

Belmont University is located in Nashville, one of America’s fastest growing cities and entertainment capitals. It has attracted attention out my way for music and music business, so I was motivated to learn more. I gathered a few photos of Belmont University from Pinterest so you can see some of […]

Whitman College is a selective liberal arts college that is one of the Colleges That Change Lives. It has attained other accolades for value and the academic experience.

From listening to a few YouTubes and taking a virtual tour, Butler University felt like a shrunken version of Indiana University-Bloomington. The limestone buildings, residence halls, gardens, green spaces, college town shopping near campus and Greek Row reminded me of that school. Butler also reminded me of Drake University, which […]

Western Washington University got on my radar for some interesting majors that I have not seen at other public colleges. This school offers nearly 200 possible majors, likely more than I would find at Rutgers, including: Cross-disciplinary majors in Energy Policy and Management and Energy Science and Technology through an Institute […]

Davidson College was one of those schools that I had heard of, but knew nearly nothing about until now. Located about 20 minutes from Charlotte, Davidson is a selective liberal arts college much like Amherst or Williams, only larger, and without the snow. But it offers an astounding selection of […]

Lawrence University (WI) is the next of the Colleges That Change Lives that I will review. It’s a shame that I had to do a virtual review instead of coming to campus. Lawrence University has a beautiful riverfront campus located in Appleton, Wisconsin, a very nice town. I gathered a […]

Few states go big like Texas when it comes to public universities. But Texas Christian University (TCU) might be an attractive alternative for someone who want to pursue a major they are more likely to find at a very large school, buts prefer a smaller, less intimidating setting. I gathered […]
