Free Campus Visits

College Search & Selection

<p>Hey, i am a rising senior (I actually start school tomorrow) and I was wondering if anyone could give me a list of schools that provide free campus visits. I am not sure at all what I want as far as colleges come and I would like to get out there and visit different colleges to get an idea of what I want. I am Hispanic so do not exclude diversity weekends from the list. </p>

<p>Also, specifically, Do Columbia and UPenn have free campus visits? </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Pretty sure all campus visits are free… as far as tours and info sessions go at least</p>

<p>I mean the schools that pay for you to fly out for campus events and stuff.</p>

<p>I don’t know colleges that do that. If this was so, many kids would be flying down on weekends doing nothing and then not attending the university.</p>

<p>Doubt there are any free campus visits for a prospective student… but for some schools, I know they fly you out on admit weekend to check out campus but that’s obviously if you’ve gotten in. And you must qualify based on financial status as well, I believe. Schools like Columbia and Princeton come to mind… [Though for Columbia, you need to get in RD for that]</p>

<p>A lot of schools have a program like this for URMs. If you are not a URM, you won’t be able to take advantage of any of these programs.</p>

<p>Some of the schools in my link above include other minorities, low income, and first gen. as well.</p>

<p>I was actually just wondering about this. I know Carleton, Kenyon, and Amherst fly students in for Multicultural/Diversity weekends. I think most also require some kind of application.</p>

<p>But I’m going to refer you to this thread - <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/770660-fall-diversity-visit-programs-compilation.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/770660-fall-diversity-visit-programs-compilation.html&lt;/a&gt;. There’s a good amount of information on that list.</p>

<p>//edit
Apparently I’m waaay late on this. Sorry :P</p>

<p>Unless you are a recruited athlete at a D1 school no school is going to pay for you to visit them.</p>
