Before You Go On A Campus Tour:
Choose the best time to visit. Scheduling a campus tour can be tricky, especially if you have to plan around school, extracurricular activities, and work schedules. (Tip: it’s best to visit a campus when school is in session so you can get a true understanding of the daily energy and atmosphere.) Consider going on a tour:
During your spring break
While visiting friends or family that live near a campus you’re considering
Mid-August, before your school starts but when colleges are beginning their fall session
Do your research. Review the school’s website, follow the college on social media, and talk to friends and family members who attend the school. Keep a running list of notes, questions, and concerns.
Before you go, turn your notes into a ranked list of questions you want answered. Download and print the campus visit worksheet to use as a guide!
