MAKE A LIST OF IMPORTANT FEATURES It’s easy to get caught up in the day and forget to ask key questions. Making a list will also help your student identify priorities (even somewhat obscure ones) and compare schools later. OPEN YOUR EYES While you’re walking around campus, pay attention to the students around you— how they interact with one another, how they interact with professors, what the general vibe is. These are valuable first-person impressions you can’t find anywhere else. DEBRIEF TOGETHER You think you’ll remember every detail—you won’t. Whether you use an oldschool binder or a file on your laptop, take a minute at the end of the day to capture your student’s impressions. EAT LUNCH ON CAMPUS Let your student lead the way. Are there plenty of food options they like? Do the students around you seem friendly and engaged? Are there students you could picture your student eating with next year? MAKE THE MOST OF ONE-ON-ONE TIME WITH YOUR COLLEGEBOUND STUDENT Campus visits can be wonderful bonding opportunities and an important step to make the upcoming transition easier (for both of you).
