The actual Admissions Representatives that will be reading your application take the time to visit Huron and meet the students. They present information about the schools they represent and can answer specific questions about the college and admissions process.
Most College Presentations are in the College and Career Resource Center. A few colleges (UM, MSU and EMU) are sometimes hosted in the Auditorium.

Tips for a successful College Visit
Check out the College websites for visit options and/or special presentation/open house days.
Most students visit colleges in the Spring of their Junior year when classes are still in session. Using Huron Mid-Winter Break and Spring Break allow student to get on the College Campus while classes are in session without missing too many of their own classes. Summer time is also a great time to visit Colleges.
