VisitDays Reviews

“lifesaver for virtual admissions”

Pros

The live sessions and chat tools have been incredibly helpful especially during the pandemic since they let students connect with colleges virtually through online sessions. It's honestly been a lifesaver for students.

Cons

I haven't come across any drawbacks with this product.

“helpful team”

Pros

Working with VisitDays has been a really positive experience. Their team was incredibly supportive during setup and also helped us manage the setup and updates for hundreds of profiles. We partnered with them on a new initiative and as our needs changed, along with feedback from registrants and attendees, they stayed flexible and willing to make the adjustments we needed. The overall user experience felt quick and easy, both for registration and for joining sessions.

Cons

I'd really like to see clearer timezone handling, both for the account manager configuring profiles and for users registering for a session.

“virtual fair success”

Pros

This has made it simple to run our very first virtual college fair.

Cons

Wish it had built in video conferencing although it looks like they've just added that feature.

“college planning done right”

Pros

It has been an outstanding platform for students and parents to explore colleges and access helpful resources for college and career preparation. The coordination felt effortless, everything came together naturally and the whole planning process involved very little stress. It turned out to be a huge success and I'm genuinely looking forward to working with James and Sujoy again.

Cons

Everything about the experience was amazing and I havent run into anything I didnt like.

“Quick setup process”

Pros

Getting everything set up was very simple and this also provides plenty of useful resources and information along the way.

Cons

There isnt anything to complain about.

“A huge help during COVID”

Pros

During the COVID 19 pandemic, having this app made a huge difference for us. I needed to move our in person processes into a virtual format and the platform helped me make that transition successfully. I was able to upload a YouTube instructional video for our new students to follow and it also let me track who had viewed it and who still had not. We actually still use it along with that YouTube video as the first step in our process because it has genuinely made our office more accessible for students. I'm very thankful for VisitDays, it has truly been a lifesaver.

Cons

I'm still getting familiar with all the details and features of the tool but my main feedback is around question customization. The platform seems to be built primarily for prospective students so most of the questions and information are designed for that audience. Since I use it for onboarding newly admitted students, I would really appreciate the ability to customize those questions so they are more relevant and specific to admitted students.

“a flexible way to reach students”

Pros

Working as a regional recruiter for a video game design and development college, I cover Texas while my school is based in Redmond, WA. We have strong name recognition around Seattle and Redmond but not nearly as much in Texas so this platform has been incredibly valuable. I really connect with the idea of it being "like Netflix for the college journey." Since Covid, a lot of students and counselors have grown tired of the traditional scheduled virtual visit. Even though this is still a virtual format, it lets them explore on their own time, in their own space and at their own pace. That gives me a much better way to connect with students who might never have had the chance to learn about us because they either don't know our brand or are simply burned out on constant virtual meetings. Our school is not the right fit for everyone but for students interested in art, animation, game design or development, it gives us a strong opportunity to be discovered as a real option. From a parent's perspective, I also value the flexibility this platform gives. I have two high school students and they approach research and career exploration in completely different ways so having something that works for both of them is a huge plus. It helps them individually but it also works well for us as a family. We can sit down together casually, look through options and learn more about what is available without feeling rushed. I especially appreciate that there is no pressure to immediately schedule time with a recruiter before they are ready to take that step in the college search process.

Cons

This has been a gamechanger I dont have anything bad to say about it.

“fantastic for college outreach”

Pros

During the pandemic we started using this app to provide free college exploration opportunities for students in our region and it turned out to be such a valuable platform. We've been so happy with it that we now rely on it for workshops as well as round the clock college search access.

Cons

I haven't run into anything I dislike about it. If anything, I just wish more students would take advantage of it for virtual tours and scheduling meetings with admissions representatives.

“thoughtful support team”

Pros

They customized the event setup around a specific need we had which made the whole experience feel really well suited to us. On top of that the service and support were outstanding. Theyre quick to respond, helpful and genuinely kind throughout.

Cons

We really didn't run into any negatives on our end. Everything functioned very well from start to finish.

“visitor engagement boost”

Pros

It has made a major difference in how we run visits at our university. Within the first year, our visitor engagement went up by more than 40% and the attendance results have been outstanding. We consistently maintain a 90%+ show up rate month after month. The survey tool is easy to use but the data it gives us is incredibly useful. Prospective students really value the text reminders, check in feature and email follow ups. Both the visitor side and the admin side are very user friendly. On top of that every person I've worked with at VisitDays has been helpful, professional and genuinely friendly.

Cons

Early on there were a few features we hoped to have but their team put in the effort and ended up developing many of the things we had been asking for so now we dont have anything to complain about.
