College Tours

Visiting campuses allows prospective students to get a feel for the college environment, explore the facilities, meet current students and faculty, and learn about the programs and resources offered by the institution.


Remember, college tours are not just about evaluating the institution; they are also an opportunity for you to determine if the college aligns with your goals, values, and preferences. Take your time, ask questions, and make the most out of the experience.

For more information about registering for College Tours, contact Kristin Moore k.moore@thenpai.org
