OM DENNE EPISODE
College visits can bring up excitement, uncertainty, clarity, overwhelm, and everything in between. In this final episode of her three-part college visit series, Sarah Bergin guides students and parents through the important process of reflecting on a campus visit while the experience is still fresh.
Sarah encourages families to move beyond surface-level impressions and have meaningful conversations about what they noticed, how they felt, and whether the visit aligned with their expectations. Through guided pause points and thoughtful prompts, she helps listeners evaluate a school using a practical framework of "yes," "no," and "maybe" while creating space for both student and parent perspectives.
