Keeping a College Visit Journal

Remembering important details from a college visit can easily be overlooked.

Campus visits are exciting

In the excitement of visiting a vibrant college or university, it is understandable that many important details can be easily overlooked or forgotten once you arrive home. This can be especially true if any of the following apply:

• You are visiting multiple colleges during a short period of time.
• You are planning several college road trips during the college search process.
• You will not have a chance to re‑visit certain college campuses before your teen submits applications.

Keep a journal

Keeping a journal is an excellent way for your teen to capture thoughts and observations about the campuses you will be visiting. Detailed notes allow your teen to compare different schools once you arrive home. In addition, the journal serves as a refresher if they need to come back to the information at a later date.

Before you embark on your college visits, your teen should prepare a list of questions that are not answered in each school’s promotional materials or online. As a result, the college visit journal becomes the central place to record the answers to these questions.
