The best way to learn about your college is to visit in person. During a campus visit, be prepared to ask a lot of questions.

Talk to students, faculty members, administrators, and counselors about the college and its programs, particularly those in which you have a special interest. Ask about available certificates and associate degrees.

Don’t be shy. Do what you can to dig below the surface. Ask college officials about the transfer rate to four-year colleges.
