A most unique DVD video series of college campuses
The only way to get a truer feel for a campus
is to go there yourself.
What you won't encounter are the joys and expense of air travel, rent-a-cars,
driving, parking, gas, tolls, hotels, meals, rain, missed school and work days.
Our virtual college tours are simple, non-promotional DVD recordings of the student
guided campus tour at over 350 colleges and universities across the
United States, Canada and Europe. They are not professionally
produced. Guidance counselors, not commercial film makers, are doing
the recordings. That means you get no background music, no mood shots,
and assuredly no great camera work. Even after recording over 1,200
tours, we are still amateurs. All we promise is an average one hour
per college of reality footage. That's not a bad time frame, when you
consider most families only spend from 2 to 4 hours on a campus visit.
Then again, we don't want to be too hard on ourselves either. Click
on our Reviews by Others to
read what the nation's journalists have thought about our efforts. They've
seen the value of what we provide.
So who are we? We are
independent college advisors who work with families in Bergen County, New
Jersey USA. As we have no connection to the colleges themselves, both
the narration and the visuals are completely candid. You will find our
student tour guides significantly more knowledgeable than the average
undergraduate, and perhaps a bit more forthright than some admissions or
marketing departments. While we may not be expert photographers, we
are good at asking questions to make sure our guides touch on all the areas
we think of interest. And if an important site is omitted from the
tour because of distance, we will record it at the end.
Our goal is not to replace an
actual visit. Nothing beats that, and for a decision that means
four (five?) years of a teen's life and perhaps $30,000 to $215,000,
you want all the information you can get. Our DVD virtual college
tours help in the narrowing down part of the selection process or when
one parent cannot travel because of the additional cost or the need to stay
home with the traveling teen's siblings. We don't want some excellent
choices falling through the cracks because of the time and expense of that
initial visit. Our series will give you a feel for each college to help
decide if the chemistry there will be right for you or your teen.
If you think we can help, click on Our Order Form to
print out your requests. No, our videos are not online. Does the
family really want to spend hours looking at a simulated 5 inch square TV
screen on a 17 inch computer monitor when there's a big TV in the den
surrounded by "comfy" chairs and a sofa? We ship our videos Priority Mail,
so you only have to be a little patient. Just like waiting for that
"Acceptance Letter."
