Visiting Privileges – See the Campus
Got your Wish List to a manageable size? Now it’s necessary to visit the campuses you’ve chosen to get a real, holistic feel for the school. You’d be surprised how many students who have their heart set on a school end up changing their minds once they’ve checked it out.
Most schools schedule visitation days, but you can make an appointment with your family for a tour of the campus and its resources. Just remember that if your only option is to visit in the summer, you won’t get to meet students or sit in on classes. Preferably, you should visit when the school’s in session. Check out student centers, dining halls and cafes, the library, and the athletic centers, including the gym. Request to meet with faculty or audit a class or two. You’ll also have an opportunity to meet with financial aid staff, division or department staff – and just as important – current students!
