Campus visits: the most important research

One of the most valuable benefits we offer is our ability to provide you with “on the ground” previews of colleges and universities, before you decide to invest in a campus visit with your student.

We visit schools across the country, meeting with admissions professionals, talking with students, sitting in on classes and just observing and soaking in the atmosphere. The “insiders’ knowledge” we gain from these visits enables us to help you prune your list of visits down to a strategically chosen and affordable size. In today’s admissions climate, this is more important than ever because increasing numbers of institutions consider students’ demonstrated interest—i.e., whether or not they visit campus—to be a significant factor in the admission decision.

We’ve visited hundreds of campuses and continue visiting—or revisiting—at least fifty more each year.
