2026 Mid-Atlantic College Tour

  • "Before the tour, I had absolutely no idea as to what I was interested in doing in college. Now, after looking at and hearing about these colleges, I do."

  • "From all the colleges I visited on the tour, I got a feeling of 'Welcome, we would love to have you!' "

  • "The tour helped me get a grasp on what I want to be doing and what I like in a college."

Friends Seminary, in partnership with College Visits (www.college-visits.com), is offering a college tour to interested Sophomores and Juniors in March 2026.
 
College Visits' mission "is to help participants make an educated choice of where they want to spend some of the most important years of their lives." For over 25 years, College Visits has led hundreds of students on trips to campuses throughout the United States and Canada.
 
For any student beginning the college process, this tour will expose you to a variety of schools in terms of size (small, medium, large), location (urban, suburban, rural), type (college vs. university, public vs. private), and campus culture. The College Counselors will teach students how to make the most of campus visits—before, during and after. 
 
The tour will run from Monday, March 23 to Thursday, March 26. We will visit twelve colleges. The college tours will include:  
Bryn Mawr College OR
Haverford College*		 George Washington University
Georgetown University Howard University
Johns Hopkins University OR
Morgan State University*
 University of Maryland
University of Pennsylvania University of Richmond
University of Virginia Villanova University

*Students will choose which school to visit when given an option.

Please let the College Counseling office know if you have any questions.
