More Tips for a College Visit
When going on a college visit, talking to current students can give you as much information as the Office of Admissions. Searching through the campus on your own time can allow you explore different aspects of the campus and talk to current students. Don’t be shy!!! College students LOVE to talk about themselves and their school. So, ask away. They will probably be thrilled to reminisce about how they made their college decision.
THE BEST PLACES TO TALK TO STUDENTS AT WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY:
- The Usdan University Center - the new student center. (you can check out a live webcam of the Usdan here!)
- Foss Hill on a sunny day
- Outside Olin Library during students’ study breaks
- Pi Café
- WEShop
GREAT QUESTIONS TO ASK CURRENT STUDENTS:
- What is your favorite part about college? What would you change?
- What is the best class you took while here? Listen to how passionately they talk about their academic experience.
- What surprised you about the school when you got here? When you got to college what parts of student life, academia, or social life became more important than you originally thought they would be?
- What’s an average day like for you?
Enjoy your visit and just remember everyone was in your shoes once, too!
