College Counselor's Corner: Mr. Stamatakos’ Guide to Visiting Colleges
For the most part, a typical campus visit consists of a meeting with someone from the Admission Office or sitting in on a group presentation about the college and a tour of campus. The whole experience can take anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours, after which students and their families move on to their next destinations. So how, then, can students and their families really get a sense of how they feel about a particular school in such a short space in time?
Mr. Stamatakos’ College Visit Guide might be able to help…
Qapla’!
