Visit Colleges this Summer

It's summer time. Juniors, you're now a rising senior, and will soon be in your last year of high school. If you're searching for something to do this summer and are planning to apply to college, then you should schedule campus tours. One of the most important things you can do is visit the college campus and see if it is the right fit for you. Call the admissions office of the colleges in which you are most interested or go on the colleges web sites to set up tours. It's very easy. Most campus tours consist of a tour and a meeting with an Admissions Counselor. This is a great way for you to see if this is the right school for you. And, if you're a rising junior or even a rising sophomore, it's never to early to begin your search.
