Hi there!

Our names are Diana and Natalie Lim and we created this document to share how we completed a fun & inspiring trip to the East coast to tour colleges.

We found that owning the whole process––choosing which colleges and cities to visit, reaching out to students to tour campus with, reflecting on what we liked/didn’t like about schools after each stop––made the trip extremely successful!

Beneath, we’ve laid out some explanations and tips to help you make the most out of this resource and your college trip!

Best of luck in your college application process!! 😇
