About This List

Choosing the right college can feel overwhelming, but having a welcoming and helpful admission team can make all the difference during your search. Wouldn’t it be nice to feel valued from the very start of this journey? We think so—which is why we created this list of colleges and universities with especially helpful admission teams and representatives!

We asked real high school students to share their experiences with colleges where the admission officers stood out for their kindness, responsiveness, and support. Whether it was through a personalized email exchange, an informative campus visit, or just taking the time to answer every question a student had, these schools made a lasting impression.

To make your college search process even easier, we’ve included the undergraduate admission office email address for each college so you can reach out to them right away. You can also read more about each school by exploring their CollegeXpress profile, or, even better, just click the green “Yes, connect me” buttons next to our featured schools to request more information. Then they’ll reach out to you so you can start building valuable relationships with your colleges of interest ASAP.
