As your child approaches the critical decision of selecting colleges, fall is an ideal time to embark on visits. These visits provide invaluable insights into campus life, academic programs and the overall college experience. To ensure a productive and organized college visit season, here’s a comprehensive guide for parents.
Fall visits give students and families a real sense of campus energy. You’ll see students in action, attend live classes, and talk to admissions representatives during their busiest season.
Whether you’re a junior just starting your college search or a senior finalizing your list before Early Decision deadlines, fall college visits offer a valuable glimpse into what life might look like on campus.
Campus visits are more than just tours—they’re strategy. At AcceptU, we don’t just help students build college lists—we guide families in creating intentional, strategic visit plans. Our former admissions officers:
Recommend which colleges to prioritize based on student interests
Help students prepare specific, thoughtful questions for their top schools
Offer insight into what admissions officers are really looking for during visits
Provide post-visit reflection tools and follow-up strategies
By following this guide, you can make the most of your fall college visits and support your child in making informed decisions about their future college home. Schedule a call with us to map out which schools to visit and what to ask while you’re there.
