Prospective students, their family members and other visitors take campus tours to learn about the college or university's facilities, as well as student life, culture on campus, academics, and programs offered by the institution.
During these tours, prospective students are able to learn about the built environment and the overall look and feel of the institution.
[2][3] Most colleges and universities also offer private tours and information sessions for large groups from a single school or educational program.
[4][5] Some schools provide overnight accommodation and meals, and students may sit-in on a class during their visit.
An admissions information session provides prospective students with knowledge about the college they are applying to.
