College tours can feel monotonous, especially for high school students. To invigorate the experience, the author shares practical tips such as encouraging teens to record video diaries post-visit, which captures their immediate reflections and unique insights about each campus. Splurging on accommodations that provide entertaining amenities creates a vacation-like atmosphere, making the trips more enjoyable. Additionally, building traditions like capturing pictures with school mascots not only adds excitement but also engages the teens, making the college search feel more personalized and memorable.
It's so hard to remember the nuances of every school when you go to so many. To help, right after you leave, I recommend that your teen shoot a quick video diary of their thoughts.
Skip the boring Courtyard Marriott and stay somewhere fun (budget depending, of course). I recommend you find a VRBO with a cool amenity - like a hot tub, or a condo that allows dogs.
Giving up so many weekends is worth it if your downtime is relaxing and fun.
Create a tour tradition - we made sure to find the college mascot statue for each school and took a picture with it.
