There is no substitute for seeing a college for yourself!

    There are several ways to evaluate a college, from brochures to video to college fairs. But nothing beats going to a college and seeing it for yourself. A campus visit is your opportunity to get a firsthand view of a college. Since, college websites and catalogs are limited at best; visiting a college will enable you to really get a feel for the school. You can walk around the quad, sit in on a class, visit the bookstore, or visit the dorms. Also, a college visit gives you the chance to meet faculty member, financial aide staff, admission personnel, and current students. These current students can give you answers to questions, such as:

• What are the average class size, and the students to faculty ratio?
• How are the dorms kept up?
• Is the library adequate?
• Are most classes taught by professors or by teaching assistants?
• What is the campus meal plan like? How is the food?
• What is the make-up of the current freshman class? Is the campus fairly diverse?
• Are the student newspapers independently produced?
• What's the social scene like?
• What kinds of activities are planned by the college's student affairs office?
• Is there ample space in dorms or does there seem to be a housing crunch?
• How many students live off campus?

Spending time on a campus allows you to determine if a school is a good match. You will obtain enough information that will enable you to synthesis the best decision.
