December 4, 2025
The holiday season is a popular time for college tours. Students are on break, families are traveling, and winter visits give everyone a chance to see campuses. But whether you visit in person or research online, one challenge is the same: There is a lot to take in, and all the information can become overwhelming quickly.
Campus tours move fast. Websites are dense. YouTube videos each show something different. And after a few tours, even the best memories start to blur together. Most students walk away wondering:
❓ What was I supposed to be looking for?
❓ What should I have asked?
❓ Which school had the dorms, food, or vibe I liked?
❓ How do these schools actually compare?
For first-generation and international students, this can be even harder. Many visit several campuses in a short timeframe and may not have family experience to guide them on what to look for. That is why we created something new: our Pocket Campus Tracker.
Your Portable College Companion
Many Benefits
Even students who feel well-prepared don’t always know what matters during a tour. Colleges rarely explain what to pay attention to, and important details are easy to miss.
The Pocket Campus Tracker gives students a clear structure so they can notice the things that matter, ask better questions, and record details they would otherwise forget. It helps them compare schools side by side, use actual data to calculate Return on Investment, and rate each school for academic, financial, and personal fit.
Using our tracker, students can build a balanced, informed college list while saving notes they will later use for applications. And there is one more advantage that students often don't think about until it is too late:
Write strong “Why Us?” Essays
The Pocket Campus Tracker helps students collect the specific details they will need for strong "Why Us?" essays. Admissions officers can instantly spot generic essays that could apply to any school.
The Pocket Campus Tracker helps you capture concrete moments like the professor who took extra time with students, the specific research lab you toured, or the club that matches your interests. When essay time comes, you will have authentic details that show you truly know and appreciate the school.
What's Inside the Tracker
The tracker includes more than 100 color-coded fields and drop-down options to make it easy to save the details that shape a school's unique specifics. Students can keep track of:
✅ Academics such as program strengths, advising, research, and outcomes
✅ Residential life, including dorms, dining, and student-life culture
✅ Practical factors like safety, transportation, and the surrounding neighborhood
✅ Support systems including diversity, accessibility, first-gen and international resources
✅ Tour insights from admissions staff, tour guides, and faculty
✅ Personal fit, such as how the school aligns with academic goals, financial reality, and comfort level
