So many everyday activities in modern life are done over the Internet. This includes everything from buying clothes to watching movies to even applying for colleges.
Almost every college and university in the United States now offers some forms of Internet-based application. And future students can see photographs of schools on their websites. Some even provide video tours. Candidates can find all kinds of information about the schools they hope to attend all over the Internet. But Ed Bustos, director of international admission at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, argues that students miss out on a lot when they only use Internet information to make their college decisions. He says the best way to get a detailed look at what life is like at any college or university is by visiting the campus.
School visits are very common in the U. S. , Bustos notes. Most students begin visiting colleges and universities of interest in the summer before their final year of high school. But, the majority of colleges and universities let interested students and their families visit their campuses at almost any time of year. Bustos suggests that students get in touch with the admissions offices of the schools that interest them. Then they can join other visiting students for a free guided tour of the campus.
Current students usually lead the tours, Bustos notes. Their job is to provide information, offer advice and show future students all the different parts of the campus, such as housing and classrooms. So students should prepare plenty of questions.
Bustos also notes that it is never too early to visit a school. He says students should consider visiting any college or university they can. This could be years before they even start thinking about the application process. And it does not matter if the school they visit is the one they have interest in attending, he says. Simply witnessing the college experience in real life can be helpful for young people.
