College Visits

One of the best ways to get a feel for a college campus is to visit it overnight. Many campuses have a "Prospective Student" program that sets you up with a current freshman student for a day or two. This is a crucial step in selecting the school of your choice. Going and visiting for a day can be misleading, when you only get the one tour guide's point of view. They won't be able to show or give you the experience of what it would be like to attend that school. My advice is to look at a school and try to set up a prospective student stay. It will help you evaluate the dorm life, night scene, academic atmosphere, and other students that can give you more of an inside opinion. But don't wait! Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, and Winter Break are right around the corner! And applications are probably due right around the first of the year! You will probably have wanted to visit those schools and need to do so before applying! The application process can be time consuming and expensive! So like my advice before...PLAN AHEAD!
