ADDITIONAL HELPFUL WEBSITES:

There is no better way to learn about a college than to visit the campus. As you make your plans to visit schools, remember to:

Contact the admissions office (by phone or online) for information about college visits. Some schools require you to register for the tours and info sessions.
Make a list of questions to ask.
Attend the information session and take the guided tour.
Take pictures of the campus.
Talk to students.
Check out the surrounding community.
If possible, try to attend a class, meet with an admissions representative, or even stay overnight in a dorm.
Record your impressions of the school once your visit is over.
