In this video, we talked about the importance of doing campus visits the right way. Before you do a campus visit, narrow down your list of target colleges to 4-9 schools. In the mix should be your “safety” or regional schools, as well as some reach ones. You’ll go on campus visits for your regional schools. Only go on campus visits for a reach school if you’ve gotten into them.
On a successful campus visit, you should document everything and:
- Get a feel for the campus and its layout.
- Check out the freshman accommodation thoroughly.
- Visit your academic department of interest and talk to someone there.
We’ve provided you with a campus visit template below to help you keep track of everything.
