COLLEGES VISITING THE HOUSTON AREA
Most colleges would love for you to don their school colors, but recognize that you might not be able to travel to their campus to see first hand all that they have to offer. In an effort to assist you in learning about their school, they travel the country and "bring the campus to you". Most of these visits occur in hotel meeting rooms or at area high schools and are open to juniors and seniors throughout the city. Below is a list of colleges visiting Houston. Please check the school's website as they might require that you preregister in order to attend.

COLLEGE CAMPUS PREVIEWS AT STRATFORD HIGH SCHOOL
If you're interested in a college and are able to visit it in person, please do so! It's best to visit during the school week to get the full picture of campus life. Weekends are fine, too, to see the city, the layout of the school, and locate dorms, cafeterias, and recreation areas. If you need to miss school for a visit, remember that juniors and seniors must contact their Grade Level Principal. If you will miss school, please pick up a 'College Visit Letter' from the attendance office. This form must be signed by a college official on your visit and given to the attendance office upon your return to school.
