Z. Kelly Queijo, founder of Smart College Visit, Inc. and publisher of SmartCollegeVisit.com, will discuss how to plan an effective and economical college visit for college bound high school students on the March 15, 2011 #CollegeChat on Twitter at 9 p.m. Eastern.

During #CollegeChat, Queijo (http://twitter.com/#!/collegevisit) will discuss with attendees:

When should high school students ideally begin their college visits
When is the best time to visit a college
Where can parents find the best deals on travel for college visits
How do you go beyond the official college tour
What is the 2-2-2 rule and why is it important
Are overnight visits on campus just for accepted students and how do you arrange
If the school you want to visit is too expensive to travel to what other options do you have to “visit”
How much credibility should you give the “official college led tour”
