University of Tennessee, Knoxville

“The experience students and families have on our campus is the single most important recruitment tool we have. It is our opportunity to share what makes our campus and community so special. From engaging with current students to feeling the energy on Rocky Top, during the campus visit is often when “the moment” happens and students can envision themselves as a Tennessee Volunteer.”

Charmin B. Lee, Director of College Counseling
Hilton Head Preparatory School

“I can undoubtedly support the importance of the campus visit. Every student that I serve, including my own daughter, will consistently rate the campus visit as the top indicator of choosing the college they are currently attending. Being completely immersed in a collegiate atmosphere and gaining exposure to the special "experiences" that Sweet Tea & Soda Pop are offering, will certainly provide students with unforgettable opportunities to which they may not otherwise have access.”

Brooke Brannin, Executive Director of University Admissions
Belmont University

“Belmont University is excited to partner with Sweet Tea and Soda Pop College Experiences!  The ease with which families can visit multiple colleges, the expertise provided when it comes to the college search, and the community that is sure to be built with the families on tour will be a one-of-a-kind experience. Visiting college campuses provides a clearer sense of whether a particular college is the right fit. This firsthand experience can be instrumental in deciding where to pursue your education.  It allows you to experience the atmosphere and culture firsthand, see how students interact, and understand whether you would feel happy and comfortable there. A campus visit is a valuable investment of time that can significantly influence your college choice.”

Evan Sprinkle, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions
Elon University

“There is nothing more important in the college search process than a campus visit. I have met countless numbers of students who talk about the “feeling” they get when stepping onto a campus they love and want to be at. Family members often comment about it to, sharing how they could see their student’s level of engagement change when they found the right place. The Sweet Tea and Soda Pop tour is taking the campus visit to another level by building a maximizing what families can accomplish in a few days. I imagine we’ll get a lot of feedback on how much smoother the visit process was because this team handles all the details.”
