College Visits

      There are several ways to make college visits:

 1.  Arrange for a day or  weekend visit through the admissions office.

2.  Drop in – drive/walk through the campus on your own or stop by the admissions office to see anyone is available to give you a tour.

3.  Attend a Visitation Day.  Most colleges have several days set aside for giving tours to prospective students.  Contact the admissions office to or your counselor to get the available dates.  The primary difference between attending the Visitation Day and arranging for an individual tour is the number of participants.  Visitation Days usually include large groups

 4.  Obtain an invitation from a friend/relative/acquaintance to spend a day or weekend as their guest.
