College Visits

Every year, I visit 10-15 schools to update my understanding of admissions priorities, new programs and majors, campus culture, and housing.

Choosing the right college is one of the most significant decisions a student will make. That's why I don't rely on brochures, rankings, or hearsay. I visit campuses in person, walking the quads, sitting in on information sessions, and meeting with admissions staff directly — so that the guidance I give my students is grounded in real, current knowledge.

The schools pictured here represent just a selection of the campuses I've visited. Every institution has its own culture, academic strengths, and community feel that simply can't be conveyed through a website. By experiencing these schools firsthand, I can help each student cut through the noise and identify the colleges that are a genuine fit for them — not just on paper, but in practice.

This kind of on-the-ground expertise is at the heart of what I do. When you work with me, you benefit from direct insight into the schools on your list, so that every application decision is made with clarity and confidence.
