Transition Year students visit to the Cork University Campus

On 17 May, Transition Year students visited the Cork University Campus of MTU and UCC.

Why are college visits important?

Visiting different campuses is an essential step in your college search process. Not only will it help you become familiar with the colleges you’re most interested in, but it will also help you get a better understanding of what types of College are the best fit for your unique needs.

For example, after touring a college in a large city, you might decide that you’d prefer to live in a suburban area instead. Or, you might visit a small college only to realize that you enjoy institutions with a larger student body. In either case, touring a variety of colleges will help you hone in on the qualities that matter to you most.

With this insight, you’ll be able clarify what you’re looking for in a college, as well as decide which institutions are aligned with your goals and needs, and decide which College to apply to and ultimately enroll at.
