You can not only view the campus but also ask questions and get a real feel for the vibe of the grounds. You can even try out the college food in many cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, a college tour is only as helpful as you make it. You must be prepared to ask questions. Doing some research and determining what is most important for your college experience will help you get the most out of your college tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scheduling a tour is your first step. The process may seem simple, but it requires some forethought to schedule a tour that makes sense for your situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Understanding the Importance of the College Tour: Making a College Visit Priority<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A college\u2019s viewbook or website can only tell you so much about the school. Visiting the school will allow you to get a better feel for what the college will be like day in and day out. You are going to be spending a lot of time on campus, so you need to be sure that it is the right fit for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> you can often have the following experiences:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Walking around campus<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25667 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/220413-Lifestyle-138-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"396\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/220413-Lifestyle-138-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/220413-Lifestyle-138.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sitting in on a class<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visiting the dorms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eating in the cafeteria<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visiting social places (like the quad or student union)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visiting the library or other study locations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meeting with an admissions counselor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Talking with a coach<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All of these experiences will ultimately help you determine which of your list of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/education\/best-colleges\/slideshows\/10-tips-for-an-effective-college-visit\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">potential colleges<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is going to make sense for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your visit will help you get a feel for the vibrancy and character of the college. It also allows you to view the facilities firsthand and talk to people that you might see on campus, from fellow students to professors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A college tour also often has a question-and-answer session that can be very useful. This inside information from admissions or a current student can help you understand the school on a deeper level. You can ask what to expect in your first year or whether the food is any good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultimately, a college tour will help you refine your list of top schools\u2014some will just \u201cfeel\u201d right, and others won\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Scheduling Your College Campus Tour<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scheduling a college campus tour m<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ay seem straightforward. However, you actually want to go about it in a way that will give you the most return on your time and effort investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>Step 1: Create a Short List of Schools to Visit<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In general, you do not want to only visit one school. Having several visits will help you compare and contrast what each school has to offer. You may be surprised to learn just how different the environment at one school may be compared to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As you consider which schools to visit, you might want to ask yourself the following general questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What size of school do I want to attend?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How far away from home (or family and friends) am I comfortable going?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does the particular school have the program that I\u2019m interested in pursuing?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do I meet the minimum qualifications to attend the particular school?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How well does this school do with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/blog\/2022\/02\/98-of-hpu-graduates-are-employed-or-furthering-their-education-within-6-months\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">employment after graduation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It might be helpful to visit several colleges with different characteristics to get a feel for each type.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, visiting a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigfuture.collegeboard.org\/plan-for-college\/college-basics\/types-of-colleges\/sizing-up-colleges-big-vs.-small\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">small, medium, and large<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> campus will help you determine which size might be a good fit for you. You might walk onto a huge campus and decide it is too overwhelming. Or you might visit a small campus and realize there aren\u2019t enough options to meet your needs. The best way to determine what your reaction may be is to test out the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is no magic number for schools you should visit. However, visiting more than one is a good way to compare your options. Visiting too many schools can make the process feel overwhelming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>Step 2: Contact Admissions<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-25673 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/180604-Leadership-0578-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"344\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/180604-Leadership-0578-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/180604-Leadership-0578-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/180604-Leadership-0578.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/>Once you have developed a list of schools to visit, you should contact the admissions <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">department at each school. Every school has a slightly different method for scheduling their college tours. For instance, some schools only offer group tours, while other schools may provide one-on-one visits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although you can sometimes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/visits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">schedule a campus tour o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">nline<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, it might be a good idea to reach out directly to admissions. By talking to an actual person, you can make specific requests about your tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, you can specifically ask to see the science building or the soccer fields if that is important to you. Ensuring the school has the right information about you can make your visit more productive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>Step 3: Choose a Date and Time for Your Campus Visit<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some schools have designated times for visits. Others are a lot more flexible. If you are interested in a group session, many schools offer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/discover.highpoint.edu\/register\/?id=414c737e-3465-445a-bf47-907c83b0e94b\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">open houses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or visit days. In some cases, you might want to start with a group session and then come back for another visit if you want more specific information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is often more productive if you can do a visit in the middle of the school year instead of over the summer. Visiting while classes are in session will give you a better idea of what the environment will be like once you start classes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be sure that you leave yourself plenty of time for your visit. On average, most college tours are around two hours in total. However, you want to ensure that you can take your time with the experience. Rushing through the process will not be helpful for your college search in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What to Expect at Your College Tour<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you are on campus for your tour, you should find the admissions office to check-in. Some large events will have signs or other information pointing you in the right direction. If you have a small group or a personalized tour, you might not have that advantage. Most colleges will give you information about where admissions is located or how to check in once you arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In group to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">urs, you will often get a name tag and packet of information about the school. You might also get some materials to take notes. College visits often start with a larger group session and then break into smaller groups for a campus tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, every college is different, and the type of tour you have scheduled will affect what you will do on your tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>FAQs About Scheduling College Tours<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b><i>Do college tours cost money?<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The college tour itself should not cost anything. However, there are some other costs that you should consider. For example, if the college is farther away, you may need to pay for lodging and transportation expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You might also want to consider these additional costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parking fees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lunch on campus<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swag items from the college bookstore<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Day passes or college events you want to attend<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you decide to apply during your visit, you might also need to pay college application fees and related expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some colleges have discounts they offer prospective students for lodging or travel expenses. Parking passes or free event information might also be available. Talk with admissions before your visit to ask about these potential cost savings measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>What should I wear to a college visit?<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are going on a scheduled tour and meeting professors and admissions, you should dress accordingly. That means that you want to look presentable without going over the top. Nice jeans or business casual dress will generally work well in most cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be sure that you wear good shoes for walking so you can enjoy the campus tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>How many college visits should I do?<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-25676 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/DSC_4365_Student-Success_HR-300x192.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/DSC_4365_Student-Success_HR-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/admissions\/files\/2022\/07\/DSC_4365_Student-Success_HR.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can do as many as you want, but traveling the country for visits can be time-consuming and expensive. It is a good rule of thumb to do at least two college visits. But, three or four might be a good idea if you have that many schools on your list of potential options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>Do I have to schedule a tour to visit the campus?<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most schools will allow non-students to visit their campus. However, especially in light of health and safety concerns, there may be restrictions on access to certain parts of campus. If you want to check out a specific building, including the dorms, buildings where classes will be held, and library, it is a good id<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ea to schedule a tour <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ahead of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>How should I prepare for my college campus visit?<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Technically, you don\u2019t have to prepare anything before your visit. However, if you want to get the most out of your time, it is a good idea to prepare a little bit ahead of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">High Point University offers a helpful <\/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\"> that you can use to develop questions to ask your tour guide and more.
