Long Weekends

Next weekend is Martin Luther King, Jr. day making it a long-weekend and in February you will have a long weekend for President's day.  These are two great opportunities for students and parents to make visits to college campuses. 

In fact, many colleges will host special visit days for students on these long weekends knowing that prospective students won't have to miss classes in order to visit their schools. 

Plan ahead now and arrange to set up a time to see the campuses that interest you most.  Perhaps it will be the first time you have been to a campus that sounds appealing to you or maybe it will be a chance to go back and explore a college for which you have recently been accepted.  There are so many aspects to learn about a college when you are on the actual campus that you cannot fully know by reading about a school online or learning from the experiences of others. 

I hope you make the most of the long weekends ahead of us and, of course, let me remind you that I'd like a picture of you somewhere on campus for the "Oh the Places You'll Go" board.
