Running through college visits has become my favorite way to truly connect with a campus. It’s an unscripted adventure, a personal journey that reveals hidden gems and uncovers the real energy of the place—things you won’t find on a traditional, guide-led tour.
Whether it’s stumbling upon a secret garden, a quiet corner with a tree swing, or a tucked-away art gallery, each run offers a fresh perspective that brings the campus to life in a way that’s impossible to capture from a tour bus or brochure. It’s about feeling the pulse of the school. Seeing beyond the buildings. Absorbing the essence of the place.
In this post, I’m excited to share how running has completely transformed how I approach college visits. It’s not just about checking off landmarks or hearing rehearsed facts—it’s about engaging with the space, the students, and the campus vibe in an authentic, personal way. I’ve discovered the magic of truly experiencing a school by embracing this unscripted journey.
