Students will visit nine San Francisco Bay area colleges in four days during the annual fall tour to West Coast colleges led by college counselor Randall Fong.

“The main thing for the college tour is that students get to talk with current students there, see the facilities, know about the admissions’ procedures and learn about financial aid as well,” said Fong.

Students will visit Mills College, the University of California at Berkeley, Stanford University, the University of San Francisco, Santa Clara University and Saint Mary’s College of California, among others.

Participants will miss one day of school, Oct. 14.

Students in grades 9 to 12 are invited to sign up for the tour and should see Mr. Fong for more information.

“Seeing the campuses and meeting admissions’ officers will be the focus for the tour which gives students a sense of whether the school is right for them,” said Fong.
