Step 7: Take a college tour

A college tour may be the last time you're on that campus without worrying about your homework for your next class. We strongly recommend going on a campus tour of your top college choices.

Try to take a college tour or do a college visit when school is in session so you can get a feel for an average class, the student body, and the vibe you get. Can you see yourself attending classes here after high school? Ask your college tour guide, who will most likely be a student at the school, about programs in your major, the attitude of the students toward the school, the unique programs offered, and about the tour guide's own personal experience at the school. It's up to you to make the most of your college tours!
