Just get in the transfer van!!! Why take a transfer trip?

What's the value of a transfer trip?? I would never advise a student to attend a college that they haven't visited.  Even as a high school counselor, I always encouraged students to spend their two college visit days actually visiting the campuses where they intended to apply.  Visiting a campus gives you a feel for what your daily life will be like on that four-year campus.  You can meet with transfer admissions, eat on campus, visit residence halls, sit in on classes, and just get an idea of whether or not you can "see" yourself there for the next four years.
