On the Way There: A Car Ride Conversation Guide (College Visit Series - Part 2)

College visits are about much more than brochures and campus tours. In this episode, Sarah Bergin guides families through meaningful conversations to have before stepping onto campus. As part two of her three-part college visit series, she helps students and parents understand what they're each hoping to gain from the experience, align expectations, and approach the day with curiosity rather than pressure. Through thoughtful prompts and pause points, Sarah encourages families to discuss why a school made the list, what matters most to each person, and how to envision a fulfilling college experience four years from now. She also shares practical ground rules that can help visits become more productive and less stressful. By starting these conversations before arriving, families can make the most of their time on campus and better understand what truly fits the student.
