Advice from admissions directors

College visits
  • Plan ahead and schedule your visit
  • Visit while students are in session
  • Visit a classroom
  • Try the food and check residence halls
  • Take the official campus tour and then walk around on your own and talk to students
  • Stay in touch – write a thank you note
  • Ask inspiring questions, not something you could read or have been told
  • Stay relaxed and enjoy the experience
  • Take notes and pictures, especially if you are visiting several colleges on the same trip
  • Visit schools in the north during cold weather
College Fairs
  • Make labels of your name, address and email so you don’t have to fill out all the information cards
  • Think about the type of college you want to attend – location, size, etc.
  • Prepare a list of questions and make notes
  • Pre-register for the NACAC College Fair (Feb. 28, 2010) and bring your bar code
