College Walking Tours

Check out Collegiate Choice Walking Tour Videos (www.collegiatechoice.com) as a way of prescreening colleges. They offer video campus tours of schools all over the United States, as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Unlike the promotional videos you'll get from the college recruiting office, these videos show a genuine "day in the life" of the campus. You can view their videos first as part of the weeding-out process, then devote your traveling time and dollars to the schools that are your top picks.
