What you need to plan for and expect during your college years.

Campus visits are rock stars of the college decision process. Brochures and conversations with your admissions counselor via text and email are important, but there’s nothing like a campus visit to really help you get a sense of what you want — and what you don’t want — in a college. Not sure when, where, or how to start visiting colleges? These tips from college admissions pros are here to answer your questions.
