What exactly can students gain from campus tours? High school students in particular can learn more about HBCUs which they’re interested in. Campus tours can help them know more about the programs the schools are offering as well as other information such as entrance exams, requirements, tuition, and scholarships.
Moreover, they also get to feel what it’s like to study in that school. It’s a lot more interesting and educational to visit the school itself rather than see it in brochures or websites. They can ask questions and get immediate answers from school personnel too. That beats waiting for email responses from all your queries.
Meanwhile, there are other campus tours packages that also provide visits to historic landmarks located near the campuses. You can drop by museums, monuments, and parks that have historic significance as well as visit attractions in the area.
There are several campus visits being organized every year. You may opt to visit the school by yourself, with a group of friends or family, or together with your class and teachers. Campus tours can be expensive especially if you intend to visit other colleges far from your area. However, you can save a lot by traveling as a group and arranging your schedule ahead of time. It’s also important to check tour packages offered by agencies to see their list of available tours as well as inquire about promos.
