If you are college bound, consider adding this to your summer TO DO list
One great thing to tackle in the summer is initial college visits. Especially if you are considering several schools, make a plan to visit each one at least once. Then, later, you can revisit your favorites, to help you make your final decision. Look at each school's website for "visit campus" or "come on a campus tour" and schedule your visit! Click the link below for a "Campus Tour Cheat Sheet" to make the most of your visit.
