HOW TO MAKE COLLEGE VISITS COUNT The best way to feel the vibe at a school—and to get specific questions answered—is to visit. Types of Visits INDIVIDUAL In-person, on-campus walking tours are often led by a student guide and provide opportunities to meet admissions counselors, see dorm rooms, and ask questions. VIRTUAL The next best thing to being in-person is to attend an interactive, virtual experience that includes campus tours and information sessions led by a professor or admissions counselor with the opportunity for Q&A. EVENT Open houses, in-person group tours organized by your student’s high school, and special visit days offered by college admissions staff are great ways to learn more about specific programs and departments. ADD A STOP TO ALREADY-PLANNED TRIPS SPREAD THEM OUT As tempting as planning a jam-packed fall break tour of campuses might be, it’s exhausting for your student (campus visits take a lot of emotional energy), and one school starts blending into the next. Take your time and enjoy the ride! Take a day out of your family vacation or business trip to tour a nearby college campus with your student. INCLUDE US ON YOUR COLLEGE VISIT CALENDAR
