As we begin to schedule junior meetings and discuss in more detail the ins and outs of life after North Oconee, we get a popular question. Does my child really need to visit a college campus to make an admissions decision? Our answer has been a resounding YES! The article below articulates why those visits are important and what nuggets of information/experiences are available through a campus visit. Check out the link below:

Our office also has a list of questions that we feel add to the campus visit experience. It helps parents and students think about things that might not be on their radar initially.

Students have two days of excused absences as a junior and two days as a senior (4 days total) to visit college campuses. We highly recommend students take advantage of those days! If you are planning a road trip for a vacation and a college of interest is along the way, plan an official visit to that campus. Many students have added schools that they thought that they were not interested in and others have taken them off of their list as a result of a campus visit. The feel of a campus is important!
