Do Virginia private colleges offer counselor tours?
Virginia is fortunate to have such a wealth of private colleges, but it is hard to tour them all at once. We divide the Commonwealth into three regions and host a tour in each of them on a rotating basis annually.
During our Counselor Tour, counselors will travel to each campus, tour, meet with faculty, administrators, and admission directors for firsthand individual contact and information that previous participants have found incredibly valuable.
A registration fee and your travel costs to and from the tour kick-off point will be your only expenses. Meals and hotel lodging are provided.
