How to Make the Most of Your College Visit (Virtual and In-Person)
Introduction: Why College Visits Are Important
Visiting colleges is one of the most exciting—and crucial—parts of your college search. Whether in-person or virtual, these visits allow you to get a sense of the campus environment, the people, and the overall vibe of the school. In this blog, we’ll show you how to make the most of your college visits.
🏫 1. Prepare in Advance
Before visiting any college—virtual or in-person—do your homework. Research the college’s:
Programs and majors
Campus culture
Extracurricular activities
Having specific questions in mind will help you make the most out of your visit.
👀 2. Pay Attention to the Details
When you’re on campus, it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of being in a new place. But remember to observe the finer details:
Classroom environments: Look at the size of the classes and whether they are lecture-style or discussion-based.
Campus facilities: Explore the dining halls, libraries, and study areas.
Social life: Take note of where students hang out and how they interact.
💻 3. Maximize Virtual Visits
For virtual visits, make sure you:
Engage with tour guides: Ask questions during virtual tours, even if it’s just a chat with a student ambassador.
Attend virtual info sessions: These are often more detailed and include opportunities to interact with faculty.
