The BSC College Tours

Real campuses, real conversations. BSC members get the chance to see colleges up close, meet admissions officers and students, and build lasting relationships along the way.

BSC college tour
How It Works

BSC members receive a survey where they indicate all the colleges they would like to visit. Their choices are from BSC's curated list of top colleges ranked on US World News and Forbes. Based on popular interest in one state, BSC can tour up to 10 colleges in that location. Tours are scheduled during BSC's off seasons (spring and summer recess) and last multiple days. All interstate travel logistics are managed by our head college tour and BSC parent coordinator, Lisa Kelly.

Our Purpose

Within the Coalition2College program, BSC provides college tours & resources to all members from as young as 10th grade. As an organization that focuses on academic and social cultivation, the BSC college tours offer members the chance to build relationships, bond, explore colleges they're interested in, and receive valuable information from admissions officers and students on campus.

Applying With Confidence

Through each tour, BSC families visit a wide range of schools that vary in acceptance rates, size, focus, and culture.
