The best thing about college visits is seeing a college campus in person to get a sense of whether it is the right fit. Tour campus, ask students questions, attend a class, meet professors, discuss financial aid options, and so much more. From the moment you set foot on campus, you'll feel the difference.

My favorite thing about YCP is the community here. I think one of the great things about going to a smaller school is it’s a lot easier to create connections. It really helps me to stay engaged in my classes and gives me opportunities to branch out and network.
