Tips to Enhance Your College Visit
Meet the Experts
Talk to current students. They'll share their thoughts on the best and worst parts of their college experience.
Take a Tour
Tour guides are trained to provide information about campus. Ask them questions. Make sure you get to see any facilities important to you, including the freshmen dorms.
Visit a Class
If you know the area you want to study, sitting in on a class is a good idea. You can meet students with similar interests and observe the professor's teaching style.
Keep a Record
If you visit a lot of schools, they might start to blend together. Keep track of things you liked and didn’t like. It will make schools easier to compare later.
Trust Your Gut
Don’t rush to judge a school because it rained when you visited or you didn’t like the ice cream selection in the dining hall. At the same time, love at first sight does happen.
