College Visits

We believe that visiting colleges is key to the process of understanding what a school can offer and determining if it could be a good fit.  Therefore, every year we spend time touring numerous colleges. Our extensive visit experiences help us create thoughtful college lists and help our students make the most of their own college visits.

As we walk on a campus, meet with students, sit in on a class, speak with admissions folks, hear a professor talk about her research, attend a performance, dig into what services are available for students with learning differences, or our favorite, eat in the dining hall…we learn so much!

Here is a list of the colleges we have visited in the last several years.
