ALL ABOUT COLLEGE
Welcome to the College Information Center
By Ann Bezbatchenko
You will spend countless hours in and around the school you chose to attend, so it is important to investigate the community, the opportunities, and the places you will call home for the next few years.
After narrowing the list of schools you will visit, if possible, schedule visits to colleges or universities in the same city at one time. Schools post directions to campus on their Web sites so you can plan your trip and travel time.
Schools encourage prospective students to visit their campus and make it easy for you to visit any time of year. To observe the campus in action, the best time to schedule a visit is when school is in session (mid-August to mid-May). However, there may be other opportunities to visit during the summer or for an Open House. Summer visits are usually more leisurely. Open houses or other special event days cater to prospective students. These events usually offer immediate contact with admissions counselors, coaches, professors, and current students.
