Hey there! It's great that you're thinking about how to make the most of your college visits. Here are some tips to prepare: 1) Research the colleges you plan to visit beforehand - familiarize yourself with their academic offerings, campus culture, and extracurricular activities. 2) Make a list of questions you'd like to ask, such as about specific programs, resources, or campus life. 3) Schedule your visit during a regular school day if possible, so you can get a feel for the campus atmosphere and see students going about their daily lives. 4) Attend an information session, take a campus tour, and consider sitting in on a class to get a sense of the academic environment. 5) If possible, talk to current students and ask them about their experiences. They can provide valuable insights about the school. Remember to take notes during your visits so you can compare the colleges later. Good luck and enjoy your visits!
