Campus Visits (for students under the age of 23)

We welcome your visit throughout the year and will strive to personalize your visit so you may learn about the factors most important to your college search!

Individual visits can be scheduled via the web. If you have special circumstances, please call our office at (800)-992-7759. Campus visits are available by appointment. A typical visit includes an information session led by an Admission Counselor followed by a student-led tour. Please plan to arrive on campus at least 15 minutes before the scheduled visit time, as sessions will promptly start on time.

We may also offer regional meetings with Admission Counselors or alumni. Find your counselor to see if they will be offering individual meetings in a city near you.
