Campus Facilities Not to Miss

During your campus guided tour and throughout the day, be sure to check out the facilities you are likely to use as a college student (review the College Visit Checklist ).  These important facilities (and important locations) include:

• Student center – this likely is the hub for student social activities.
• The Department building that houses your major.
• Classrooms – how is the size of the class?  Do the instructors seem caring and enthusiastic?
• Labs – are they modern and well kept?
• Dorm rooms – what’s their condition?  Is the paint peeling off the walls or are the interior and exterior of the residence halls neat and clean?
• Cafeteria.
• Main quad or central area of the campus.
• Library – is this a good place to come and study when your roommates are too loud?
• Gym – the majority of students use this facility for one reason or another.  Intramural sports, working out, Physical Education classes, etc.
• The college bookstore.
• Swimming pool, track, exercise room, music practice rooms.  You may want to use these facilities at one time or another during your 4 years as a student on this campus.
• Community surrounding the campus – is the community someplace you will feel comfortable shopping, going to the movies, eating at restaurants, etc.?
