Ask These Questions on College Visits (Most Families Don’t)

Описание: The pdf of these college tour questions: https://matrixcollegeconsulting.myflo...

College tours are polished, friendly, and designed to show a school at its best. But they rarely answer the questions that actually determine whether a student will thrive once they enroll.

In this video, I share the *most important questions students and parents should ask on college visits* questions that go beyond rankings, dorms, and dining halls. These are the real-life factors that affect stress, graduation timelines, mental health, and career outcomes.

You’ll learn:

How easy it is to register for required courses in popular majors
What housing is really like after freshman year
How selective student organizations actually are
What students really do on weekends
How long the wait time is for counseling appointments
How helpful career services are beyond career fairs
How accessible professors are for mentoring and support

I also explain **who to ask these questions to on campus**, including tour guides, current students, and why students in dining halls and coffee shops often give the most honest answers.

This video is especially helpful for:

High school juniors and seniors planning college visits
Parents trying to assess true college fit
Families comparing similar colleges and struggling to see real differences

If you’re touring colleges this year, use these questions to move past the sales pitch and get clarity about daily life, academic access, and student support. #collegeadmissions #collegeapplicationhelp #collegetour #campustour #collegeplanning
