“I fulfilled my goals of looking into schools other than Princeton and Syracuse.  I toured Historically Black Colleges and was surprised at the professional atmosphere they provide.  I also had the opportunity of meeting students who I could relate to"- Victoria Joseph, 16 years old

The U.S. News and Princeton Review have noted that college tours and campus visits are an absolute necessity for college bound high school students. Urban Leadership Institute’s Spring Break Higher Learning College Tours serve as a means of introducing its travelers to the world of higher education and cultural experiences.

Selecting a college may be one of the most important decisions that students make, as it is the first step to their career and their future. The Spring Break Higher Learning College Tour is designed to meet student needs. The goal of the college tours is to provide students with the tools they need to decide where they want to go to school, and to help them find out what steps are needed in order to get admitted. It is our hope that the tour will encourage every student that participates, to further his or her education by attending an institution of higher learning.

The tours provide infinite knowledge into looking and finding a college to suit student’s needs and personality and will enable students to get a sense of what higher education has to offer and hopefully, students will be able to narrow down some choices or come up with some new ones after participating in the tours. The choice of a college or university is an important one and college tours work well to help participants make the most informed decision possible.

In participating in the Spring Break Higher Learning College Tour, students also have the opportunity to interact with students from different backgrounds and make new friends.
