Welcome to schoolbuff.com, a website for students and parents who would like to tackle college planning calmly, strategically, and systematically. It is also for college advisors who are looking for tools to help students conduct a mindful exploration of colleges. We consider ourselves school buffs, i.e., individuals who are interested in and knowledgeable about colleges. This site reflects the philosophy originally developed by Dr. Antonoff in his many years as consultant, writer and trainer.

We have two goals in our practice:

Encourage and Share Resources

that give college shoppers a framework for making an informed college choice.

Help Young People

receive the highest quality one-on-one advising on both getting-in and fitting-in.
