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 college-bound teens and their families: 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 - 1st Wednesday of every month at 9PM ET.

For colleges & corporate partners In addition to publishing the SmartCollegeVisit blog, we also develop content for web and mobile platforms for colleges and corporate clients.

We develop technology solutions to aid the colleges and campus visitors. One example is the Smart Visit Widget which provides location-specific, booking tools for college travel.

Our mobile campus guides include “Visit VT” (Virginia Tech) and “Explore UNH” (University of New Haven). Both apps are available in iTunes and Google Play.
