Campus Guided Tour
If possible, take one-to-two hours before your
campus guided tour to walk around the campus on your own. Have
a copy of the campus map and just walk around to get oriented. It
will help you know where you are on campus when you take the actual
guided tour.
The guided tour takes about an hour and includes walking around a good
portion of the campus. You’ll visit academic buildings, student dorm rooms
(residence halls), the student center, classrooms, and the newest buildings on
campus.
Take the guided tour and see the campus during the busiest time of
day (10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.). The tour guide will point out the most important
buildings and locations on campus. Be sure to go on the guided tour, it
will save you time and will allow you to become familiar with the overall campus. Guided
tours are usually given by current students to whom you can ask lots of questions.
NOTE: The questions you ask during the campus visit are important. Be
sure to ask questions to the people who know the most about each subject. For
example, if you want to know about student social life, ask a student, not an
admissions officer. If you want to know about available financial aid,
ask the admissions officer or schedule a meeting with a financial aid officer. But
remember, you can’t go wrong by asking questions of students. They
will be honest and will not try to create impressive answers that sound good,
they’ll just tell the truth. |
