Other Resources
The College Tour (https://www.thecollegetour.com/)
A great resource for your college searches: The College Tour (https://www.thecollegetour.com/). This website gives you a tour of campus, talks about the surrounding town or city, and talks about what is unique about that school. While it does not have all the colleges in the US, they are consistently adding more each season of the show. The great thing about this resource is that you can choose to watch the whole episode through (it is about an hour per school), or you can choose to watch segments from the episode and learn specifics you are interested in.
You can either download the The College Tour App to your phone or tablet here, watch it on your computer through the link above. You could also see full episodes by going to their YouTube Channel. Check it out and explore what it has to offer, who knows, it may pique your interest in a school you were not thinking about!
