  them to determine, first hand, the type of campus
  that is best for them.

  to get them motivated in high school and

  money by covering several schools in one trip.
  Plus, students traveling together allows them to

Most of our students stay in state, but there
are so many schools here to choose from Many of
these kids have never even left our town. I
wanted to give them a chance to visit some of
these schools that they so blindly apply to year
after year CE makes it very easy for me to get
our kids the exposure that they need.
-Pete Bonn, California
The overall quality of the travel accommodations
that CE provides for the students is impressive.
You would think that a trip like this would cost
a lot more than it did. We had a three day tour
with two nights in a very nice hotel, a
comfortable new bus, meals, a tour director, and
visited six schools for less than 300 per
person -Lourdes Ramirez, Texas
Four the past two years, our college tour has
been the highlight of the year for my juniors.
They come back from the tour naturally focused on
college and motivated to begin the application
process I think the tour makes college a reality
for them it literally puts the schools at their
fingertips, and makes my job easier in the
process. -Bill Dahlgren, Ohio
Dont take our word for it, here is what your
peers think
I like the fact that all that I have to do is
select the schools I want to visit and gather the
students Taking these tours is essential for our
kids and their families, but with my workload
its impossible for me to plan them on my own.
CE provides me the convenience of taking care of
all of the details for us, and the comfort of
knowing that it will be done right... all we have
to do is board the bus -H.J. Alexander,
California

As a freshman now at Florida AM, I can look
back and honestly say that going on the tour with
CE was the best decision I made my junior year.
Visiting four of the schools that I was
considering, I could see for myself why this
school would be the best fit for me visiting
several campuses before making a final decision
is smart. -Lrae
Williams, Illinois
I never really considered myself college
material, so I hadnt really thought much about
going seeing college life in full swing was so
amazing I can really see myself there I learned
a lot about several schoolsI feel like this trip
was the motivation that I so needed to get
serious about life after graduation. -L. Pina,
Arizona
Truthfully, I wasnt really interested in any of
the schools listed on the tour my mind was set
on U of M It has made me realize that maybe I
was set on U of M because it was all that I
really knew My folks went there and a lot of my
friends were going, plus it was the only school
that I had visited Im glad I was exposed to
other options. -Preston McCoy, Michigan
here is what your students think
Seeing the dorms, the lecture halls, and the
library was cool But I really appreciated the
opportunity to meet the students and talk to the
admissions people on the campuses. It was also
good to eat in the cafeterias and see the
surrounding communities where I could be living
Hey, its a 4 year commitment I need to make sure
that Im happy with little things that are
important to me. -Trevaris Mimms, Virginia

My Sons school was offering the college tour
and my daughters was not luckily they allowed
her to attend with him... I really hope that more
high schools begin offering these tours for their
kids Talking to them after they returned, I can
definitely see the difference... I think that CE
made it clear for them
-Altea R., Nevada
Not having the time or, quite honestly, the
money to take Erin to visit the schools that she
was interested in attending, I felt that this
tour was a great idea and solution The price
was very reasonable, I didnt have to miss any
time from my job, and she had a great time with
her friends touring the schools.
-Anonymous, California
Anytime that your child is traveling without you
youre going to be worried I comfortable when he
went with CE because in addition to chaperones,
CE sends along a professional tour director,
there is personal security at the hotel, I knew
where he would be at all times, and I had a 24
hour emergency contact number -Marshall Stuben,
Florida
And last but certainly not least, the Parents
I thought that this tour was such a great idea
that I volunteered to be a chaperone. I know
that my daughter wasnt so excited about that at
first, but we really had a fantastic time Our
tour director, Micheal, was great, he made sure
that we were on time for everything he was so
accommodating to our needs The CE staff did
fabulous -Angela Sullivan, New York
