LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL

Marianne Michael visits Elon University in central North Carolina, where she will be attending school next fall. Elon’s Admissions Welcome Center offers information sessions, campus tours (both group and individual), meetings with counselors and class visits for prospective high school seniors. A college visit is one of the most important parts of the college research process because it gives visitors a firsthand impression of the students, faculty, facilities and programs.

Armonde Moore and her younger sister visit the University of Cincinnati where she will be attending school next fall and playing Division 1 lacrosse. UC offers group tours and open houses to visitors. When visiting any school, it is typically best to do so when classes are in session (spring through fall) to get the best sense of the school’s atmosphere.

Kelsey Miller visits her future school Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. Visitors who organize a tour are guided around campus and taken through the life of a Clemson student. Campus tours are held year-round and special visit events are held several times a year.
