COLLEGE VISITS offers the college bound student a first-hand look at colleges and universities throughout the United States. Their experience in working with a multitude of higher education institutions, enables them to obtain meetings with admissions representatives, student led tours, and campus housing. This helps to take the hassle and worry away from the student and parents in organizing a family visit. COLLEGE VISITS tours cover all aspects of college life. They tour small, medium and large schools, rural and urban, and public and private schools. The tours cover almost every region of the U.S.
Note from Corey: I worked with Robert when I was at Johns Hopkins and have also had very positive feedback about his tours, so I feel very comfortable recommending his service.
