Campus Visits

Colleges are like people; they have their own personalities.

Part of helping students find the right fit is understanding the colleges from a first-hand perspective. There are things people learn by visiting a campus that you can’t get from the website or a brochure.

I have visited 420 colleges in 36 states and the District of Columbia with more visits happening all the time.

To see information about schools I have visited, please visit my blog, Campus Encounters, or click on the college name for a direct link to my write-up on that particular school. Schools listed without hyperlinks will have information coming shortly.
