I had a great time touring Coastal Carolina with my dear friend, Deb Ryan. I loved getting the chance to talk to current students at Coastal Carolina to gain insights to help my current high school students.

Spring is a great time to visit colleges while the students are still on campus. I loved touring Wofford, Furman, and Clemson this week.
