USU College Tour

usu tour

There is no better way to really get a feel for a college than by visiting it.  Tooele and Grantsville took 13 students to USU Logan on a tour.  Students had a chance to walk all over campus and view the different programs, they had a tour of housing and even ate where all the college kids eat.  By the time we left, many of these students had determined that USU was the school for them.

College tours are so extremely valuable. It really does help in knowing if a certain school is the right fit for you. Remember, that you get two excused absences for college visits.  Here are the direct links to all the Utah colleges and their tour pages. Get on campus!
