Seeing a college yourself is the best way to get a feel for the campus and determine whether it is a perfect fit for you. When possible, visit while school is in session so you can sit in on classes, meet some students and professors, attend a sporting event of performance, eat the dorm food, and perhaps arrange an overnight stay in the dorms with a student host. Here are some resources for making the most of your college visit:
Visiting colleges is one of the most fun parts of being a college counselor. Seeing them in person helps us understand what makes each school special and what type of student would thrive there. Jodi and Emily each commit to visit at least 25 schools per year. Here is a list of schools we have visited. We have taken pictures at many of the schools (weather permitting) and posted them in our College Visit Gallery.
