Short Description

The primary purpose of this literature review is to synthesize the previous studies on teenagers’ learning about college through social media. I first give an overview of the features of the reviewed studies. Then, I review the literature by focusing on how teenagers learn about college through social media and what are some challenges and limitations in this process if any. Based on the findings from the literature review, I offer educational practitioners and researchers some suggestions for supporting teenagers considering postsecondary education.
