Hey guys! I'm a junior and I'm planning on visiting some college campuses soon. I want to make the most of my visits, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for or asking about. Can anyone share some advice on what to consider when visiting colleges? Thanks!
Hello! It's great that you're starting to visit college campuses. Here are a few things you might want to consider when visiting: 1. Attend an information session and a campus tour, so you can get a feel for the campus and learn about the school's programs and resources. 2. Talk to current students about their experiences and ask them what they like and dislike about the school. 3. Sit in on a class or two to see what the academic atmosphere is like. 4. Check out the dorms, dining halls, and other campus facilities to see if they meet your needs and preferences. 5. Investigate the surrounding area to see if it's a place you'd be comfortable living in for four years. 6. Take note of student organizations, clubs, and activities that interest you. Try to attend an event if possible. 7. Make a list of questions before you go and try to get answers to them during your visit. Good luck and enjoy your campus visits!
