Why is visiting colleges so important?

The school I had made an official visit to was the one I attended as a freshman. I loved it during the visit, but by the end of my freshman year, I was ready to leave. I ended up transferring to a school that I had never visited, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.

There are no guarantees that a school is right for you, even if you think it is during your visit.
