Ask many college students how they chose their school and they’ll tell you they “just knew” when they visited and were surrounded by the students, staff, faculty and community. It's a good idea to visit different kinds of institutions (different sizes, settings, affiliations) so you have a good basis for comparison.
Although some campuses are beginning to offer in-person visits again, there are limits due to COVID-19. An alternative is to schedule virtual one-on-one visits with admissions staff. If you're not ready for one-one-one, consider attending group virtual information sessions or start your college exploration by taking online self-guided tours.
