College Campus Visits

All Juniors/Seniors who aren't in A Cappella Choir will be going on college campus tours this Friday, April 13th.  In addition to this, ALL high school students are encouraged to set up college tours on a regular basis so that they can compare/contrast different campus atmospheres/prices/etc.  These visits are usually free and easy to schedule, usually by going to the college's website and finding the "admissions" link to "visit campus".  Colleges have "big" visit days on several pre-determined dates throughout the year, but students/parents can also schedule an individualized visit date that meets their needs.  Some examples of upcoming visit days are:
