“I was planning to apply to SUNY Albany but now that I saw it I realized that it wasn’t for me. I just didn’t like that it was so big. The counselors on the bus were right that some of us would like a school and some, like me didn’t feel it. After talking to the counselors on the bus I learned about different colleges and discovered that an instate SUNY college may not be the most affordable and not the easiest to get into. That made me feel so much better, I though that I had to go to a SUNY college. Now I want to visit more colleges and yes go on another trip. I want to visit the University of Delaware and a few other colleges to get a better idea of what kind of college I want to attend. I never thought a size of a college would matter to me so much. I can’t thank you all enough.”

“I want to thank you for the sense of freedom you gave all of the students on the tour. We all felt like and were treated like adults. The experience was empowering. I never thought I would have liked and learned so much in just a few days. No one has ever spent as much time with me about my future college goals than the advisor on the [goCAMPUSing] tour. He was excellent, he listened and answered all my questions and then some. When the college itself fell short on information the [goCAMPUSing] advisor filled in all the blanks and he made it fun and stress free. I don’t know how to say this but, I feel like a different person than when I first got on the bus 4 days ago. I feel more confident and focused. All I can say is THANKS.”

“Thank you for organizing a wonderful goCampusing college tour while taking really good care of my daughter during her trip. The logistics, security, itinerary, hotels, bus, scheduling arrangement, ongoing email updates while on the tour, as well as the extended custom tour were excellent. That made us very comfortable with your group. She toured a number of colleges with an experienced counselor from your team who provided a wealth of information that would be difficult for us to gather in such a short time from websites or talking to people. The other students in your tour helped make it a group learning experience for admissions to colleges that was much more effective than us doing the visits as an individual family. Since our daughter was from the West coast, we really appreciate you doing an additional tour for her to see some additional east coast colleges which were on her list. She has returned from the college tour with a very good understanding of the admissions requirements, the process, the pros and cons of different colleges and wants to do another trip with your group. I will strongly recommend you to my friends as your team helped make it an enjoyable and safe learning experience for my high school daughter.”

“BIG MIRACLE…I’m excited about going to school! College! This tour did it. My Mom has been on my case for months and I kept putting it all off. Now I can’t wait. I loved the freedom on the tour. The gocampusing tour advisor was awesome. The college advice was amazing and he took the time to go over what I specifically needed to do from my high school class selection, when and how often I should take my SATs & ACTs, how to practice for them, even what I should do about writing my college essay. He gave all of the others on the tour the same personalized attention. The whole trip was awesome even the red bags and endless snacks on the bus were great. The hotels were great and the food was excellent. Thank you!”

“I sincerely thank you for the experience you gave our students. They had very positive interactions with the colleges, liking Yale, Columbia, and Sacred Heart the best. None of them could say anything that could be improved about the trip and all had grins on their faces as they recalled what they experienced. Everything from the food to the drivers was a hit. The trip was amazing! You know what you are doing up there in New York. I thank you for your flexibility and your willingness to work with us. I thank you for the personal attention you obviously gave to our group, and I thank you for the time and effort you put into organizing all of the details of the trip. I only wish I could have been part of the experience! I would like to keep in touch with you regarding future tours for our students over Spring Break and with our school’s Summer program. Thank you again. It was a pleasure!”

“The GOCAMPUSING experience was full of awesomeness. The college advisor was great. He made the guided tours and information sessions so much better, because he had a lot of additional information and answered all of our questions. Overall I am very satisfied and I can’t think of room for improvement.”

“Just wanted to say thank you once again for everything you did for my daughter on the [goCAMPUSing] tour. It’s been 2 weeks and she is still talking about the trip and she is in contact with many of the other kids she met on the tour. She is so excited about going to college in two years. Her entire attitude toward high school has changed in such a positive way it’s remarkable. She came back a different person. My husband and I can’t say enough about how much she matured in just a few days. Honestly, we’re shocked how your tour affected her. I can’t thank you enough and want to tell you in writing how pleased we are with your company and all of the staff you had on the tour.”

“It was an amazing trip. I loved visiting the colleges and getting to actually talk to kids that go to the college. I think that it was great that our parents weren’t there either…it really gave us an idea how our college future is going to be like someday-living in rooms with our friends, and experiencing campus life without our parents. Traveling was awesome, and the trips on the busses were always fun with music and movies. We really got around on the trip! I really loved everything about it and had a great time touring around campuses. There was absolutely nothing about the tour I would change. It was amazing, and most of all-informational and fun!”
