College & Culture Tours

EYFO College and Career Planning Program also provides opportunities for students to go on College and Culture Tours across the USA. During the tour (offered since 2017), students learn about the schools and campus life, which helps them identify the college they want to attend.

These tours have taken over 90 students to visit colleges in Alabama, California, Georgia, Maryland, Nevada, New York, Virginia, Washington, DC, etc., where they learn about the schools and campus life from schools’ students, staff, or EYFO alumni.

Our college tours give you insights you cannot find in a brochure. It helps students ask whether this college is focused on helping them launch their careers or graduate school plans after earning their degree here. EYFO schedules multiple college campus tours in the same geographic region to minimize costs and logistics. The resources and opportunities provided by this program are designed to help students achieve their college and career goals.
