In this episode of College Admissions Insider, brought to you by Bucknell University, Brooke Thames and Bryan Wendell welcome Becca Haupt, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Bucknell, to discuss how a student can choose a college without ever visiting campus.

Hear how it's possible to make this important decision from the comfort of your laptop at home.
