Smart College Visit

edit

Smart College Visit makes it easy for college-bound teens & parents to get info about colleges, get directions, & find hotels near each campus they want to visit.

For the Fam: Moms, dads, and teens can not only search for which colleges to visit, but also find hotels near campus, book a hotel room, flight, rent a car, calculate fuel costs, and get directions to the admissions office.

Our travel booking tools are specific to every college’s location and we provide a college planner that students/families can use to keep track of which schools they plan to visit or have visited and how they ranked the visit, favorite colleges, and where the student has applied.

#CampusChat We host a weekly Twitter chat - #CampusChat - featuring experts on all things college - from college visit travel to admissions to SAT test prep to life as a college student - every Wednesday at 9PM ET.

For colleges & corporate partners We publish travel booking tools, such as the Smart Visit Widget to provide location-specific, booking tools for college travel.

On the mobile side, we publish mobile guides to campus (Ex: Visit Virginia Tech iPhone app) and mobile visit registration forms.
