College Campus Visits: Journal for College-Bound Students

Created by a former college counselor, this guided college visit journal strives to help the college-bound young person both start the college campus visit process and more importantly reflect on the journey. It is through active reflection that students better understand why they are choosing one college over another. With easy to complete writing prompts, it will help the student articulate more clearly why one campus “doesn’t feel right” and another “feels like home”. This journal focuses on the campus visit and should be a supplement to other college search resources such as guide books and the secondary school counselor or college counselor. Sized for travel, it can easily fit into any bag or backpack. Designed for the attention span of a high school student it is a great gift for any 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grade student. Visiting a college campus can be a fun and positive memory building experience. This journal can help with one of the important steps of the college search process.
