OUR STORY
A Better Way To Find a College
Dr. Thom Golden and his wife Bridget started Golden Educational Consulting to help everyday families succeed in finding the best fit college for them while placing an emphasis on family health and wellness.
Dr. Thom has studied the college search for decades, from the inside of some of the most selective universities, and he will tell you that which college you attend simply does not matter. Bridget’s background in higher education as well as association and alumni engagement also demonstrated that it’s not the actual college that matters, it’s the fit.
