When planning your college tour, be sure to avoid red flags. Here are five to watch out for:
1. Being a pushy salesperson.
Don’t feel pressured to visit every school on your list. If a school is interested in having you come and visit, they’ll be more than happy to accommodate you.
2. Being unresponsive to your questions.
If a school is not willing to answer any questions about the program or the faculty, it may be a sign that they are not a good fit for you.
3. Making you sign a contract before you visit.
Some schools will require you to sign a contract before you visit, which should be avoided.
4. Forcing you to attend their school.
Some schools will try to pressure you into attending their school. If a school is not a good fit for you, it is important to be honest about it and move on.
5. Appearing shady or illegal.
If a school appears shady or illegal, it may be a sign that you should avoid them
