Step 3 - Visit local colleges
It is always helpful to visit our local colleges to get a feel for what colleges have to offer. Think about the characteristics of a college in which you are interested. . . There is probably a college in our area that is similar. Check out the College websites for visit options and/or special presentation/open house days.

Step 4 - Travel!
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.
