Custom College Visits

"I wish I had know about Janice when I was looking at schools with my 2 boys. As a single parent, the process was time consuming because I had to do it all myself; book the visits and travel plus coordinate the schools and geography. It was completely overwhelming! I just finished my 3rd (and final) college tour schedule in 2022 with my daughter and thanks to Janice and Custom College Visits, it was organized, seemless and stress-free. I provided the dates and list of schools and Janice handled the rest. During Feb and April breaks in 2022, we toured approx 20 schools (Feb was still tricky due to COVID restrictions on several campuses) and they were wonderful trips! She even helped coordinate dining and suggestions of things to do in some of the larger cities. My daughter and I were actually able to enjoy the process and connect more deeply because of Janice and the services @ CCV. Let’s face it, the process can cause stress and these trips can divide you and your student instead of bring you together. This journey is one that you cannot get a “do over”’ on. It is important to get it right so your student doesn’t come to dread the process. Janice is a true pro that helped take the angst away from both of us. She knows how crucial it is to connect not only with the parent, but also with the student She empowers the student in the process. With CCV, the student feels that this is their journey and not their parents. I cannot say enough positive things about CCV and Janice’s complete dedication to our process and personal experience. It is worth the investment to make this journey as smooth as possible during a stressful time for both parent and student. Janice is compassionate, understanding and simply said, wants to support your process - and she did that for us magnificently! If you need to make a change during a visit (adding or deleting a school) CCV handles this with ease. There is a travel component to the service to help as well as an APP that guides you every step of the way. During our Feb trip, we added a last minute stop that required adding a flight, school visit and hotel plus rearranging some of our other travel plans. CCV executed this with ease for us, and thankfully so, because this addition ended up being my daughters #1 choice to which she ED’d and was accepted in December. Thank you CCV and Janice for taking a daunting process and turning it into an educational journey! I am forever grateful that you helped make the 3rd time a charm for myself and my daughter! NG"

"I cannot recommend Custom College Visits enough. Then entire circus of college applications is frustrating enough without feeling your child will not really make an educated decision about what school is best for them. Janice took the time to speak with my daughter, understand her likes and dislikes, and then set her up not only with tours but meetings with students, club presidents, faculty, and department heads so that she could ask the right questions of the right people. Thank you Janice!"

"Our family has thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our experience working with Janice at Custom College Visits. Janice makes the college visits seamless from top to bottom. She is incredibly flexible, always responds promptly, and puts together an itinerary with all necessary details making it a smooth process. She always follows up to confirm everything went well and is available to answer any questions at all times. We have enjoyed working with her for the past few years with both children and look forward to continuing to do so with our third."

"What more could you want than someone who cares as deeply as Janice does about the success of the people she works with? 10/10 would recommend."

"Janice's guidance was important to us in finding the right college for our son. With her knowledge and experience, her school choices guided us in ways that we couldn't do on our own. Our son is very happy at an Ivy League college. Thanks Janice!"
