Resources for the Road: Planning Summer
Campus Visits
As school finishes up for the year and trips to the Cape begin, many families are also planning college campus visits. In addition to participating in campus tours and information sessions, prospective students may be able to take additional steps to better determine if a college is a good match. Parents and students are encouraged to contact admission offices in advance of their campus visits and inquire about any available opportunities to explore a college, including speaking with current students and connecting with faculty and athletic coaches.
As your college trip planning begins, keep in mind that there are numerous resources available, and many are free and highly accessible.
IECA also offers a
resource
for helping families manage their campus visits.
The
Campus Visit Journal
enables students and parents to record their impressions of colleges in an organized, user-friendly format. Take this
journal
with you on your college trips this summer and keep track of your thoughts while they are still fresh in your mind.
