As campuses across the country start to reopen, college-bound students once again have the opportunity to visit schools and gather vital information as they seek to make one of the most important decisions of their life.
The first step, before embarking on any college visit, is to educate oneself by reading information that is readily available on college websites and in reputable publications such as U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges guide. Students and their parents can easily access data for each college such as the acceptance rate, average SAT scores of accepted students, percent of faculty who are full-time, percent of classes with fewer than 20 students, percent of classes with more than 50 students, and so much more.
