Four Tips for Successful College Visits
You’ve graduated high school and are ready to take the next step. Or, are you? Choosing the college you attend is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, but there are ways to ensure that you’re making the right choice for yourself. Once you’ve narrowed down your list of potential universities, you should visit each of them and compare notes. Here’s a list of questions to take along with you.
1. What does the college do to help freshmen acclimate to college life? If first-year students live in dorms, for example, are there advisers on each floor available to go to for help? Academically, are advisers provided for each freshman? Do full-fledged professors teach entry-level students? What is the class size for freshmen?
2. How much money will you need to earn your degree? Be sure to get a good idea of all costs, not just tuition, room and board. Then find out if the university offers access to government financial aid programs and how to apply. Ask if there are student jobs within the university and look around town for employment opportunities as well.
3. Classroom aside, what is the general lifestyle for students in the community? Do you see plenty of things to do? Can you tell where you might shop or do laundry? How about restaurants and sporting facilities? Do most students walk, take public transportation or would you need to bring a car? If so, is there ample parking?
4. What is the success rate in finding jobs after graduation? Does the university help new graduates to network with alumni? Is there pro-active alumni support to guide graduates as they segue into their chosen fields?
Don’t be afraid to find students and ask them any remaining questions you may have. They may give you a different view of things like how easy (or difficult) it is to meet with faculty or get into the classes you want. They can also give you an idea on what dorm to choose, which cafeteria meal plan is practical and what social events to look forward to throughout the year.
After you return home, your decision-making process should go a lot smoother. You’ve walked the campus, seen the facilities, spoken to administrators and picked the brain of a student or two. Good luck!
