College Visits

Make Your College Tour Count

Do your part to make the college visit/campus tour engaging and informative, not just following a student around campus for an hour listening to random facts and the college’s history. After all, college is about both results and the experience. These questions can help energize your college search. But though the answers to those questions are important, the feeling of whether or not the college is the right “fit” for you is also essential. 

Ask your campus tour guide to take you through buildings you are interested in seeing, and ask about the academic areas that interest you most. Also visit a classroom and a residence hall room to get a feel for student life. 

College tour guides like when families interact with them and ask questions. The campus tour should engage you and give you a feeling of whether or not you could see yourself as a student there. Your first impression might just lead you to your future alma mater! 

Questions You Should Ask Your Tour Guide:

• Why did you choose this college?  

• When do students typically declare a major?

• How easy is it to switch majors? 

• How’s the food? 

• What is it like to live on campus? 

• What do students do for fun?

• What is your most favorite and least favorite thing about this college? 

• What is the four-year graduation rate? 

• What are some of the top employers for graduates of this college? 

• What are the strongest or most popular majors?
