College Tours

Campus visits + Experiencing new places = A Blueprint for the Future

Dream Big Youth Travel, Inc.

The leading college campus tour provider in the Southeastern United States, Dream Big hosts elementary, middle, and high school students, faith-based organizations, and community groups. Our yearly itinerary includes over 40 colleges in more than 20 states including Georgia, Florida, Alabama, New York, North Carolina, Virginia, California, and Massachusetts. Campus touring is a critical, but often missing piece to the college readiness puzzle.

Campus visits and exposure to local culture help students identify what is interesting, exciting and important to them for their future. They’ll return home more engaged in their college search and with a better understanding of what types of schools to visit with their families. Group leaders are invited to preview our current listing of local colleges in Atlanta GA and over 25 college tour itineraries.

What to Expect on a College Tour

We visit a variety of schools—from Ivy League, to top research institutions, to liberal arts colleges, to Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU’s), from public to private, large and small — students can begin to articulate which types of schools feel right to them.

Local Culture
Students get to imagine their college years by seeing the nearby communities where they’ll live, exploring iconic sites and experiencing local foods and culture.

Time to Reflect
Students use a provided journal to record their learnings, questions, musings, and perceptions, then return home with a personal guide for finding the right school.
