Course Wrap-Up and Action Plan Survey

Make every campus visit count. Evidence-Based College Tours: Evaluating Fit, Asking Smart Questions is a practical, student-friendly course that turns campus tours into clear decisions. Designed especially for high school students in gateway cities—including first-generation and multilingual learners—you’ll learn how to prepare, observe, ask for data, and document what matters to you: academics, belonging, support, location, and affordability. Instead of being swayed by glossy marketing, you’ll build a repeatable system to compare colleges side-by-side. You’ll assemble a Tour Toolkit with checklists, note sheets, and question banks; practice inclusive, professional communication (with scripts for email, in-person, and interpreter requests); and learn to read outcomes like graduation rates, retention, and career results with an equity lens. On campus, you’ll know what to look for—from advising and tutoring to safety, wellness, and housing—and how to evaluate costs beyond tuition. After each visit, you’ll turn observations into a simple scoring matrix aligned to your priorities, identify deal-breakers, and plan follow-ups. By the end, you’ll walk away with a shortlist you believe in, a timeline for next steps, and the confidence to advocate for your needs. Tour smarter, compare fairly, and choose a college where you can learn, belong, and thrive.

            <p>Choosing a college is a big decision, and campus tours can feel exciting, confusing, or both. This course shows you how to turn each tour into real evidence you can trust. You will learn how to define “fit” for you—academics, campus life, support, location, and affordability—and how to test it on the ground. We focus on practical tools that help you compare schools fairly, even if you are the first in your family to go to college, speak multiple languages, commute, work a job, or support your family. If a space or conversation feels uncomfortable, we also name options to keep you safe, set boundaries, and get help.</p>

<p>First, you’ll build your tour toolkit: a one-page student profile, a structured note sheet, an observation checklist, and a question bank tailored to who you’ll meet—tour guides, students, faculty, financial aid, disability services, and more. You’ll plan for language access and interpreters so you can communicate clearly and be heard. Then, on campus, you’ll learn what to look for and what to ask about academics, advising, tutoring, research and internships, graduation and retention data, counseling and wellness, safety and Title IX, inclusion for ELLs, first-gen, LGBTQ+, undocumented/DACA students, disability supports, housing and dining, and the realities of daily life and cost beyond tuition.</p>

<p>Throughout the course, you’ll practice asking strong questions, listening actively, and documenting exact answers with quotes, data, dates, and contacts for follow-up. You’ll learn to read marketing critically, use public dashboards, and understand what rankings measure—and what they ignore—so you can weigh information for your needs. After your tours, you’ll convert notes into a simple scoring matrix aligned to your priorities, name your must-haves and deal-breakers, and build a shortlist with clear next steps.</p>

<p>Finally, you’ll map timelines for more visits, applications, financial aid, and scholarships; request accommodations for future events; plan contingencies like aid appeals or transfer pathways; and share clear summaries with your family or support network. Quizzes along the way help you check your learning, and a final reflection turns your insights into an action plan. By the end, you’ll have a repeatable system to evaluate fit, ask smart questions, and make a strong, informed college choice that supports your goals, your wellbeing, and your budget.</p>
