A Quick Tip for College Visits

September 29th, 2008 - by NCSA Staff

Question Mark

      During college visits, one particular resource that can provide some of the most helpful information during the recruiting process is often overlooked. This resource is made up of the current team members at a college. By communicating with these team members on a personal level, you can not only develop friendships, but get a true sense for the school you are thinking of attending, as well. Those athletes are currently going through what you will, if you choose to attend that school, and they can give you their insights on what really goes on. Below is a list of questions that might be helpful to ask an athlete at the college you are visiting.

  1. What do you like/dislike about this school?
  2. What do you like/dislike about the coaches and team you play for?
  3. What types of classes are you in, and what do they involve?
  4. If you were in the recruiting process all over again, would you pick this school and why?
  5. Do they feed you well? (These types of things are important, too!)

A lot of these questions may seem simple, but they really can be quite useful if you work to get something out of them. Ask questions that you are really curious about and don’t be afraid to dig deep!
