Five Things to Do on a College Visit from Alexis Avila CEO of Prepped & Polished
- Visit school when it is in session, bustling with kids running around to and from colleges and picture yourself among them.
- Sleepover in the dorms. Hanging out with students overnight will tell you volumes about the day to day college scene.
- Really taste the food! You’re going to spend the next two to four years eating at this dining hall, so make sure you like the cuisine!
- Identify your academic interest and take a class in it. Was the class interesting? Were the students engaged? Were they falling asleep?
- Get to know other college students. Find out what’s REALLY happening at the school.
