We’ve addressed a lot of ways to choose the right colleges to tour and to prepare for your visit. But if you want to take things even further and maximize your opportunities, here are a few advanced tips to help you lock down the info you need for the decision-making process.
- Scope out the amenities – There is more to college than classrooms and dorm rooms. You will also want to see things like the library, the commons, the cafeteria, and other parts of the campus where you will be spending time studying or hanging out with friends.
- Spend a night out on the town – When you are not in class, you’re going to be spending time in the city or town that surrounds the campus. You may even live off-campus. So you want to be sure that you are going to enjoy the place where you will be living.
- Check into safety – Unfortunately, there are safety concerns at colleges nowadays, so you want to review what measures the university has implemented to protect students.
- Choose virtual visits wisely – Some schools really amped up their virtual tour game during the pandemic. This can allow you to save some travel money and let you see other schools in person that don’t have the same quality virtual tours.
