Come to any of our 17 colleges during Minnesota Private College Week, June 25-29. This annual visit event is an easy, no-pressure way to begin exploring college options and a great way for your student to discover what he or she is looking for in a college.

These introductory campus visits — beginning at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day — run two-and-a-half hours and include tours and information sessions. Registration is free and easy. So spend a morning or afternoon at one college — or make time to visit several during the week. When we survey parents and students after the event, nearly half wish they had gone on more visits!

As you make your plans, be sure to check out the following resources:

• our tips on how to make the most your visit
• directions and parking info for each campus
• transportation options if you can’t or don’t want to drive
• suggestions on how to make a road trip out of it

There's sure to be a private college that's the right fit for your student.
