Decide what kind of visit you would like to make. There are a few different options at Boston College. You can take a campus tour, which is a 75-minute tour of the school led by students and volunteers. You can also participate in an hour-long eagle eye session that consists of a panel of undergraduates who will talk about academics and student life on campus. The most involved option is a day visit in which you will spend a full class day with an actual student.
