Personalized campus visits can be a great way for students to really picture themselves going to college. Visiting campuses that have programs they are interested in, gives them insight as to what courses they may need to take in high school. Early college courses are a great way to boost a student's confidence and prepare them for education beyond high school.

Preparing for college can, at times, be a confusing process for families. Luckily, a school counselor is someone that students and their families can turn to for support along the way.

Often times, counselors have anecdotal stories from past graduates to share with their high school students to bust some myths and give them a better look into the reality of life during postsecondary.
