Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Go to andovercollege.com to begin your virtual tour. Because the campus spreads over multiple towns and is also in the virtual world, the first thing you are going to want to do is familiarize yourself with the site and model of the school. For some people a huge sports program is very important, for others it's all about academics. The latter is the case with this school.
Step2
Click on "schedule a tour" which is found under the admissions tab. To the right of the page, you will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire of a half-dozen questions pertaining to your major interests and which campus you think is best suited to you. Click "submit" and send it in.
Step3
Allow yourself to be contacted by the admissions department. This process is admittedly different to most other college programs, but it works for them. They suggest waiting for a member of their staff to call you. If you do not hear from them within a few days, give them a call at (888) 242-5314 for their Lewiston Campus or (888) 242-5314 for their Portland campus.
Step4
Arrange travel for your tour to their campus. Hotels in Portland or Lewiston can be found on sites like expedia.com or hotels.com. If you are within New England, there are comprehensive driving directions on the site. If you are flying into town, Boston's Logan airport will provide the most flights nationally. If you are more local, then Portland, Augusta, Rockland and Bangor all have airports. Buses also run from Boston to Portland, as do trains on Amtrak.
Step5
Show up on campus and take your tour of Andover College. Whether you decide to visit the Lewiston or Portland campus, show up and greet the admissions personnel. Allow them to take you around campus and show you the charm of their school located in the heart of New England. Remember to ask questions as while they are evaluating you, you are certainly evaluating them to make sure they are right for your secondary education goals.
