Visiting College Campuses

Family road trips are a perfect opportunity for detours to visit college campuses! With a little research, learners can be better prepared to ask strategic questions. In the article, 36 Questions to Ask on a College Visit, US News and World Report has created a solid list of questions to ask when visiting a college or university.

Prior to visiting an institution, here are some useful tips:
-Learn background information about the college before arriving.
-Schedule a tour in advance.
-If considering a specific major, try to visit around the department chair’s office hours to possibly connect.
-Consider meeting with the financial aid officers to learn about scholarships and other sources of help.
-Learn more about the resources available for particular majors on campus (labs, technology, and modern facilities).

If visiting a campus in person isn’t an option, websites such as eCampus tours, YourCampus 360, College Prowler, YouTube EDU and Rate My Professors are available to give an inside look at colleges all across the country. The US News article, Visit College Campuses From Home, offers additional information about these websites.

Whether on the road or at home, it’s never too early to explore college options!
