The college search is one of life's most significant milestones.

We design custom college visit itineraries — scheduling campus tours, mapping efficient travel routes, booking convenient accommodations, and recommending local restaurants and experiences that help your family get a genuine feel for both the campus and the surrounding community — so you can focus on what matters most: discovering the college where your student will thrive.

We visited seven schools in five days and never once had to worry about logistics. The itinerary was impeccable — every detail was handled. Our daughter could focus entirely on picturing herself at each school. She learned a ton about what she wanted and didn't want and we had a great time along the way!

About Us

Meet Lori, Founder of
Road Trip to College

As a mother of two — one already in college and another close behind — I've lived the college search firsthand. It's thrilling and overwhelming all at once. Campus visits matter enormously, yet planning them well is genuinely hard.

With a master's degree in education and years spent teaching, I understand how students learn and how they make life's biggest decisions. When I began arranging visits for my own daughters — the routing, the tour scheduling, the hotel booking — one thing became clear: families need real support during this stage.

So I brought my two worlds together, education and travel planning, and founded Road Trip to College to make campus visits well-organized, thoughtfully planned, and even fun. My goal is simple — ease the stress for parents, build confidence in students, and design trips centered on finding the right fit and making memories along the way.

"This is just the beginning of the next chapter."
