25 Twitter accounts every parent of a college-bound teen should follow

 

If you have a college-bound teen, you should have a Twitter account. There is a wealth of information out there from scholarships, to admissions, to financial aid, to help with choosing a college. Here is my list of the MUST FOLLOW on Twitter. It’s easy to follow these if you make a list (college experts) and add these follows to the list. That makes it easier to read their feeds and find them as you are scanning through the multitude of information on Twitter.

  1. A great one is @CollegeXpress content, content, content (and college search, lists, scholarships, summer programs, more)

    1. Thanks Meghan. That’s a great one to follow as well. It’s probably time I “add” 25 more to the list. There are so many great resources on Twitter.

  2. Thanks for including @Peter_VanBuskirk! We have been narrowing the content of Peter’s twitter account to institutional commentary and the “enterprise view” of college access, and directed followers to @best_collegefit for information about college-going cultures, admission tips and timely updates. I hope your readers will take a look at this twitter account as well! Best wishes!

    1. Thanks for the additional information. I will pass it along to my Twitter followers as well.
