I loved my college counsler Leslie!! She was so sweet and incredibly supportive! She broke the process down to become more manageable and simple to understand! I got into my top schools, and am so excited to be going to University of Illinois! HelloCollege helped me through every step of the way and they were all incredibly kind and helpful throughout!

Excellent Experience with Leslie Riccio at HelloCollege
We initially thought we could handle the college process alone, but choosing HelloCollege was the best decision we made.
Our son was matched with Leslie Riccio, who was absolute perfection. Leslie brought realistic expectations, patience, humor, and endless encouragement to every Zoom call. She kept our son on track while removing an immense amount of stress from our shoulders. While the student still has to put in the hard work, Leslie and HelloCollege provided ideal guidance to facilitate success. We are truly grateful for Leslie and wish every family could have a advisor and cheerleader like her in their corner!

We are passing this straight to Leslie — she deserves to read every word! Realistic, patient, encouraging, and fun to work with is exactly who we want in our students' corners, and it sounds like she delivered all of that and more. So glad you made the leap and trusted us with such an important process. Congratulations to your son!
