I am the father of a current 11th grader and I attended a Suited 4 Success workshop when my son was in the 10th grade. I was able to learn that early preparation for college was essential. Ms. Robinson impressed upon us the importance of course selections for students even at the 9th grade level and parent involvement in monitoring their students’ academic progress. Ms. Robinson stressed the importance of available resource as it relates to college research and scholarships. More importantly her work with parents did not end at the conclusion of the workshop; she continues sending parent’s informative college bound resources.

For Our Fall Day College Tours
Suited 4 Success successfully runs yearly college tours along the East Coast. Our goal is to allow students to visit colleges and universities so they can learn first-hand from admissions counselors and students what each school has to offer.
The tour allows students to step out of their comfort zone, network with their peers, get a glimpse of what college life is like, and meet face-to-face with college recruiters and student ambassadors.
Here are five reasons why visiting colleges for students is crucial...
1. Discover the Perfect Fit: College is not just about academics; it's also about finding the right environment for personal and academic growth. Visiting campuses allows students to gauge if a college aligns with their interests, values, and aspirations.
2. Get a Feel for Campus Life: College is not just about classrooms; it's about the entire experience. A campus visit lets you experience the atmosphere, see the facilities, and meet current students, giving you a glimpse into what campus life would be like.
3. Ask Important Questions: Touring a college provides an opportunity to engage with faculty, staff, and admissions professionals. You can ask questions about academics, financial aid, scholarships, and any concerns you might have.
4. Inspire Confidence: By visiting campuses, your student will gain confidence in choosing the right college. A firsthand look can ease anxiety and build excitement about the next chapter in their life.
5. Make Informed Decisions: College is a significant investment. By visiting campuses, students can make well-informed decisions, ensuring they are aware of the best choices for their future.
