Considering whether to take AP (Advanced Placement) classes is a key concern for many high school students. These rigorous courses allow students to earn college credit and possibly skip some general course requirements in college. AP courses are offered in a variety of subjects — including English, science, social studies, math, computer science, and many foreign languages. The classes cover more than normal high school courses, exploring complex topics and requiring a significant amount of work outside of class — much like college courses.

Campus visits are often a big part of the college search process. Walking across the quad, sitting in on a class, or grabbing lunch in the dining hall gives prospective students insight into what campus life is like. But what if you can’t make the trip? What if distance, cost, scheduling conflicts, or other obligations are inhibiting you from visiting a campus? Don’t worry. This won’t put you at a disadvantage. In fact, with the right approach, you can still gather the information you need to make an informed decision.
