Why Are Immersion Tours Important?
Prestige alone doesn’t ensure success—fit does. Students who feel connected to their campus community are more likely to stay enrolled and graduate on time (NCES). Immersion tours go beyond brochures, letting families truly experience a university’s classrooms, culture, and people.
For 9th and 10th graders, early exposure sparks motivation, shapes course choices, and builds confidence well before application season. By investing in fit early, families set the foundation for long-term success.
- 65% of students say campus visits are the most influential factor in deciding where to apply (NACAC).
- Students with strong fit are more likely to graduate on time (NCES).
