Advice for College Visits:
Do you know which colleges you plan on applying to?
If no, then start looking up different colleges and their specialties.
If yes, have you visited this college? College visits are pretty important when it comes to deciding which schools you really want to go to. Since college application fees are costly, make sure to reduce your list to 5 colleges (if you had more than that). Keep in mind: The college has to be fit for YOU. Colleges find students who are fit for their school, but you shouldn't adjust yourself to colleges just because your parents wanted you to go there or everyone would praise you if you went there.
If you plan on visiting colleges, take notes on things you like/dislike about the school. Don't just look at the students or the appearance of the campus. Look at how the students are living, the programs the school offers, internship/job or research opportunities, student help services, financial aid, and academic rigor. Find the most optimal choice for you.
And since college applications are opening soon, you might find out what the school's essays are about, and you might be given hints about how to write them.
I felt a need to write about college visits since I did mine last minute during Fall Break and visited 12 colleges in one week.
