College visits are an essential part of building your college list. You don\u2019t need to see every college before you apply, but you should see some representative models and then pursue more of those that are like the ones you prefer. Before you hit the road, though, you should know what\u2019s potentially a good fit, and you should do enough browsing and research to make the visits worthwhile.<\/p>\n

The college visit and campus tour are a matter of timing<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re probably insanely busy, and breaking out the time campus visits is not easy. That\u2019s especially true when you factor in the availability of an on-campus tour and information sessions, let alone one-on-one interviews. You might be free on most Sundays, but many college admission offices are closed. School vacations could be a possibility, but college campuses are like ghost towns then because they’re on break as well. You\u2019ll need to make some compromises, perhaps missing a practice or performance here or there, or working with your teachers and guidance counselor to be excused from classes on a few days.<\/p>\n
