How can I research colleges without visiting?

Hi, due to the current situation, I can't visit colleges in person. What are some alternative ways I can research and get a feel for the schools I'm interested in? Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello! It's completely understandable that you can't visit colleges in person right now. Don't worry, there are still plenty of ways to research schools and get a good sense of their vibe. First, I'd suggest checking out each college's website and social media accounts. They usually have lots of photos, videos, and information about campus life, academics, and more. Next, try looking for virtual campus tours or interactive maps – many schools have created these resources to help prospective students explore the campus from home. You could also attend virtual college fairs and online information sessions to learn more about the schools and ask questions. Another great way to get an insider's perspective is by connecting with current students or recent graduates – try reaching out to them through social media or college forums. Finally, don't forget to read up on student reviews and rankings from reputable sources. Good luck with your college search!
