U. Tours offers programs specifically designed to meet the needs of higher performing high school juniors and seniors. Click here to see what others have to say about us.

Our goal at U.Tours is to create a fun, stress-free atmosphere in which your student can make the right college choice based on their individual needs, while in the process, lessening parent anxiety over making time for an overwhelming number of college visits. After your student has been through a U.Tours program, parents can more effectively direct their energy towards a targeted list of colleges.  

Our two to four day tours let students experience a variety of selective colleges in the Northeast. Most visits include a private tour and group information session. Our experienced instructors will help guide students on how to make the most of each college visit. Students will learn which questions to ask, what to look for in a college, and help in the process of deciding which school is the right fit for them.

Safety for your student is our primary concern. Our chaperone:student ratio is no less than 1:10. Students will be closely monitored and every reasonable precaution will be taken to ensure their security. Students will travel by coach bus and stay at high quality hotels. Parents are welcome to participate in any U.tours program; however, be prepared—these trips are high energy! We'll be visiting schools by day, but we also make time for exciting nighttime activities such as sightseeing, theatre-going, and even rock climbing!  

At the start of each trip, students will receive a U.Tours handbook designed to help prepare them for their visits. Each book is customized to meet their specific needs, whether they be a junior or a senior, an athlete, or a student with special needs. Handbooks will include information on the college application process, SAT/ACT exams, early decision options, financial aid, letters of recommendation, and much more.
