There are some basic tips that can help you get the most from your college visits, but if you’ve read about those over and over again, we’re going to deliver a few more that you may not have heard. Here are some advanced tips for getting the most from your college visits.
- Explore virtual visit options – Most schools still provide virtual tours in the post-pandemic world. While some are better than others, this may be a good way to see some additional schools that don’t fit your travel budget or schedule.
- See the town – Instead of just touring the school, plan to see the surrounding community as well. After all, you’re going to spend four of the best years of your life there – you don’t want to hate the town you’re not in class.
- Find out about amenities – From the dining to the library to the commons to the student center, these are the places you’re going to be hanging out with friends, studying, eating, and just spending a lot of time in general.
- Find out about safety policies – Sadly, schools have become hot zones for violent crimes across America. While incidents on college campuses are far from common, you still want to know what safety protocols are in place if you experience an emergency situation or just need to report any activity that you find concerning.
