Use our online event calendar to search for virtual or in-person group events. New events are added regularly.
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.
