One of the decisions you\u2019ll need to make is whether to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">schedule a college tour<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A college tour can be an illuminating experience. It helps to bring to light specifics you may have questions about. It also gives you a clear sense of what the campus is like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">College visits have many benefits. Considering the advantages of a college tour, you can make a more informed decision about the college that\u2019s right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Is a Campus Tour?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-25283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/06\/siegfried_leadership_fellows-300x175.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/06\/siegfried_leadership_fellows-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/06\/siegfried_leadership_fellows-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/06\/siegfried_leadership_fellows-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/06\/siegfried_leadership_fellows.jpg 1042w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Campus tours are organized visits to a college or university. They are structured activities in which visitors take a walking tour of various locations on campus. During the tour, student tour guides will share information about the college and answer questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a college tour, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prospective students and their families can see first-hand parts of the campus. They can also get questions answered about issues relevant to their college experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tour will not visit every place on campus. However, typically a tour will focus on areas of high interest to students and families. Among the most common spots are dormitories, dining facilities, the library, classrooms, and labs. Student centers, athletic facilities, performing arts spaces, and historic locations are also frequent spots on a campus tour. Make sure to build your own <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/college-tour-checklist\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">college tour checklist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before you arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are unable to visit a campus in person, consider <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual college tours<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Increasingly, colleges and universities are providing this option as an alternative.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Benefits of a Campus Tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many benefits to choosing to go on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/college-tour-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">college tour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here are some of the major advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing the Campus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This may be the most decided advantage of going on a college tour. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You get to see the layout of the campus and where different buildings and facilities are. You\u2019ll get a sense of how the campus is used. If you do decide to attend the campus, you\u2019ll have a leg up on where things are<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Detailed Answers to Questions<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Do you want to get answers to questions that are top of mind i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">n your college search? A campus tour is an ideal time to get answers to questions about academics, social life, dining, and housing. You will also learn about the community and what people love about being at the college or university. Your tour guide, other students you meet, and faculty and staff members are all available to answer your queries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attend an Information Session. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At most colleges and universities, the admissions office manages campus tours. Frequently, admissions offices hold information sessions as part of the campus tour. In these sessions, you are seated and hear a presentation by staff members and students. The information session provides details about the admissions and financial aid processes and some additional information about the campus<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connect with Admissions Staff<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you have questions about the admissions process, you may be able to speak with an admissions officer. Questions about the application, your grades and extracurricular activities, financial aid, standardized tests, and recommendations can be answered directly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Hidden Gems<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Marketing materials and the college website are wonderful resources for you in deciding which colleges you want to attend. You\u2019ll see amazing photos, hear from students about why they chose a university, and get access to detailed information. On a campus tour, you\u2019ll be able to learn so much more. You\u2019ll see spots where you might want to study and places you\u2019d like to explore on your own. You\u2019ll find hidden gems that confirm you wa<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nt to attend a certain college or university. It\u2019s a new perspective that provides more information to help you make an informed choice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a Feel for College Life<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. By seeing the students interacting with each other, you\u2019ll get a sense of what college life is all about. You may be able to attend sporting events, lectures, performances, or other social activities as part of your campus visit. You may even be able to attend classes and eat on campus. Collectively, these activities illuminate the fuller extent of the college experience<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>When to Visit a College Campus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-25583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/191106-Fall-Lifestyle-0053-1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"379\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/191106-Fall-Lifestyle-0053-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/191106-Fall-Lifestyle-0053-1.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collegefactual.com\/parents\/choosing-a-college\/when-to-schedule-college-tours\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no perfect time to visit a campus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and take a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> college tour<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Many people start the college exploration process in their junior year of high school. Then, students can work with families and staff to narrow down the types of colleges they may want to attend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many factors that go into deciding where to apply for college. You may want a certain part of the country to attend, either close to home or far from it. You may be attracted to certain majors or academic programs that interest you. You might also be interested in certain aspects of the university, such as its opportunities to compete athletically. There may be a musical ensemble you\u2019d like to join or participate in a special program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narrowing down these options can help <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/willarddix\/2016\/03\/07\/when-to-go-the-college-visit-circuit\/?sh=238be07467e6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fine-tune your list of potential campuses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While junior year is a good time to start, other students wait until their senior year to explore. This approach compresses the timeline to learn about and apply but is very doable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other students choose to get an early start on the process and begin thinking about colleges in their sophomore year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Time of Year to Visit a College Campus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter when you start to plan your college exploration, consid<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">er college visits <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as part of the process. Having more time to plan trips to visit a campus is a wise choice. There are some times of the year when there are more options available to schedule a tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each time has its own advantages and disadvantages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Summer<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the summer, you likely have more flexibility to visit a campus. You will not need to miss school to attend and may have fewer scheduling conflicts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer is one of the most popular times for students and families to visit campuses. Some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">college tour <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">slots can fill up so it\u2019s important to plan ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one downside to visiting a campus in the summer is that you\u2019re not as likely to see as many students. While many universities hold summer sessions, these academic terms have far fewer students than standard academic years. There will not be many student activities in full swing and student-athletes will not be in season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, faculty members are far less likely to be on campus during the summer. This is an ideal time for faculty members to be doing research and writing or preparing materials for the semester.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Academic Year<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visiting during the academic year is a great time to see the campus in full swing. With students on campus and classes in session, you\u2019ll get a full sense of the university. At certain times during the semester, activities will be different. For example, during the beginning of the semester, freshman orientation and the start of classes are busy times. In addition, during and just before finals, students may be studying intently, and finishing papers and projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The academic year is a great time to visit. It lets you take full advantage of what happens on a campus. You can see student clubs and organizations. You can see an athletics practice or contest. You can visit classes. You can eat in the dining hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visits during the academic year likely coincide with your own studies and activities. Again, careful planning is the way to make sure you can visit when it\u2019s convenient for you. Consider school holidays (though be sure to check that the college or university is in session). Your school may have schedules that make it easier for you to get away and not miss important activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Holiday and Other School Breaks<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holiday breaks are another popular time to schedule college and university tours. In many cases, these breaks will not coincide with time off on a college campus. However, be sure to check. There are certain times when students may not be on campus and tours may not be scheduled. Times to check on include Thanksgiving break, fall break and spring break. You can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact the admissions office<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to see if tours are scheduled during these times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another time when students often want to visit is during a winter break between semesters. While this may be a convenient time to visit, be sure to check with the admissions office. Some colleges and universities do not offer tours during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Weekends<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A weekend college visit makes sense. There are no high school classes to miss and you have the flexibility to travel. Most colleges and universities do schedule tours on the weekend. However, tour slots again may be limited so be sure to plan ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Schedule a College Visit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The college visit is an exciting time. There is so much to see and absorb. When planning your college visits, you\u2019ll have lots of flexibility. The key is to plot out what works best for you and your schedule. Then, you\u2019ll want to align the timing with college tour availability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A college tour is an ideal way to see more of the campus and get a sense of the fit. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/visits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule your college visit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and see up close what the school has to offer. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re thinking about college, there\u2019s a lot to consider.
