What no one tells you about college tours

Most parents think college campus tours will motivate their child.
But here’s the truth: they usually don’t.
And in many cases, they backfire.

In this video, we break down the hidden flaws behind campus visits—what they show, what they *don’t*, and why so many families misunderstand their purpose.

We begin with a simple paradox:
The students who are old enough to *care* about the visit are often too late in the process…
…and the ones who have time to act on what they see?
They’re too young to care.

This episode unpacks:

• Why campus visits rarely change student motivation
• The marketing psychology behind college tours
• What families *think* they’re learning vs. what really matters
• Why the people who shape your child’s education are never on the tour
• What to focus on instead if you want your child to thrive

If you’re trying to navigate the path to college without falling for the expensive extras, this video is your reality check—and your roadmap.
