“A College Authority tour isn’t just a chance for students to visit colleges, it is a master class in the college admissions process. Our students have always returned from the trips, not just with more knowledge, but also with a more sophisticated understanding of what is to come. The trips are designed to hit the perfect match of information, exploration, and fun…”

“The TCA tour experience is unique within the professionally run college tour community. Bill Rubin has an encyclopedic knowledge of colleges and universities, as well as the broader college admission process. He has so many former students and professional contacts on so many different college campuses that students get genuine insight into college culture and opportunities specific to each.”
