For South Carolina Public Radio, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.
Planning a college visit over spring break? Experts recommend registering early, arriving on time, and wearing comfortable shoes. Tour each campus with purpose. Ask about advising, internships and student clubs. Visit the library or a student center and talk to current students.
Many campuses offer ‘day in the life’ programs. At the College of Charleston, “Cougar for a Day” sessions offer a deeper look into admissions, academics, financial aid, and student life.
Finally, manage your expectations. Most students won’t have an instant ‘this is it’ moment. A good college visit is about trusting the process and letting the right place reveal itself over time.
For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris.
