Planned visits include top universities on both the East and West Coasts, such as Stanford, UC Berkeley, Columbia, NYU, Yale, Harvard, and MIT!

Explore not only MBA programs but also other master’s programs (technology, education, public policy, public health, etc.) and undergraduate campuses!

Only Alpha Advisors can deliver this unparalleled MBA, graduate school, and undergraduate campus tour experience!

Beyond standard campus tours, enjoy arranged visits with admissions offices, informational sessions, class observations, and casual chats with current students!

Even though your ultimate goal may be pursuing an MBA, master's, or undergraduate degree abroad, each institution differs significantly in its environment, students, faculty, and academic strengths.

Nearly 20 participants have joined each year from 2019 to 2024, enjoying exclusive Alpha admissions seminars and valuable connections with current students!

Many past participants have successfully secured admission after directly engaging with admissions officers during these visits!

If you've ever wondered:

"Which campus environment best matches my academic goals?"
"What is my primary motivation for pursuing an MBA or graduate degree?"
"Which school aligns best with my personality and goals?"
"What are class discussions actually like?"
"What makes each school unique?"
"I’d love to speak directly with admissions staff!"
"I want to interact with current students!"
"I'd like to efficiently compare multiple schools at once!"
"I prefer not to handle complicated arrangements myself!"

Visiting your target schools will not only help you get a feel for each unique campus atmosphere but also provide essential insights and strategies crucial for your application process. Additionally, you'll build valuable connections with peers and mentors who share similar ambitions. The authentic experiences gained through interactions with current students, attending real classes, and participating in info sessions offer critical insights unavailable through online research alone.

Having organized successful MBA, graduate, undergraduate, and community college campus visits across the US, Europe, and Asia for over 15 years, we consistently hear participants share the following feedback:

"I'm so glad I came! I’ll definitely work hard to come back here!"

One defining characteristic of participants in our campus visit tours is that their motivation to apply significantly increases, and many subsequently gain admission. Every year, we welcome not only working professionals but also admitted students and university students.

Feedback from Past Participants

Feedback from January 2025 Singapore Campus Visit > Participant Feedback!

◯ Selected excerpts

・Through this campus visit, I gained a clear understanding of the unique strengths of each school. It reinforced the importance of clearly defining my long-term career goals, identifying areas where I currently lack, and choosing a school that best complements those gaps. Additionally, conversations with current students and fellow participants helped clarify exactly what steps I need to take next, making this experience extremely valuable. Thank you very much for this opportunity!

・The campus visits made me realize that clearly defining career goals is fundamental. Although it's challenging, I’m now motivated to build my own career goals and story. I look forward to your support in this journey.

・This was my first campus visit, and I was initially anxious. However, spending time on actual campuses with highly motivated peers made it much easier for me to visualize studying abroad. Discussing our backgrounds and goals highlighted the importance of having a clear vision for the future. Speaking with admissions staff, current students, and younger participants provided essential perspectives for me.

◯ Selected excerpts

・The second-year class visit featured high-level discussions utilizing the case method, providing a highly stimulating experience. The traditional and majestic campus atmosphere was also wonderful. Initially, I was intimidated by the extremely high proficiency level of students and worried about achieving such fluency. However, conversations with current students revealed their tremendous efforts, showing that rigorous environments truly elevate one’s skills. This made Harvard, which had previously felt distant, seem much closer.

・I greatly appreciated hearing directly from someone working at a GAFAM company in the US for two years after graduation. It truly highlighted the strength and value of the Alpha community.

・In addition to sessions with admissions staff, I deepened my understanding by speaking directly with six current students. Witnessing Alpha participants proactively engaging with American MBA students in the cafeteria was highly motivating. Inspired by this, I was able to arrange a one-on-one consultation with EMBA admissions and participate in an EMBA class visit.

・The admissions officers were very approachable, answering nearly every question without hesitation. They were open-minded yet held clear and strong opinions. Everyone genuinely loved Stanford and felt a deep connection—"I came here because it's Stanford!" was a sentiment strongly expressed by many.
