Hi Reader,

Are you visiting family and friends in different locations and states over the summer? See if there is a local University or College to check out!
​
At the beginning of their process, students might not know what they are looking for in a school; seeing and experiencing any college is a great way to understand what they like and don’t like.
​
In a city, book a visit or walk around at a local university to see if they like the idea of going to college in a city (even if it is not that particular city). Near a large state school, spend the day wandering around the campus to rule in or out attending that type of school. Near a rural campus, drive through and around the campus to see if your child likes being in a quieter environment.
​
Most students feel they need to have a list of schools they want to apply to before they visit any schools; however, conversely, a lot of the time, it is the visiting schools that may help them build their list.
​
Happy Visiting!
