One of the largest investments you will make in life is in post-secondary education. Total costs of training are in the thousands. Do you really want to make a commitment to this investment without first checking out the product?
You can’t judge a school by its brochure. A campus visit is a must to get a feel for the school. Choosing a school is about selecting a training opportunity aligned with your career plans but it is also about choosing your home for the next few years.
The best time to visit is on a school day so that you have a chance to talk to students, faculty, financial aid and admissions folks. |

Campus Visits |

A visit gives you an opportunity to get answers to questions such as:
1. Does this school offer a course of study aligned with my personal career goals? 2. Will my AP, Running Start and College-in-the-high-school credits transfer? 3. What is the average number of students in each class? 4. Who teaches undergraduate classes, professors or graduate students? 5. What percentage of the students that enter the program graduate? 6. What career and placement services are available? 7. What are the current tuition and fees? 8. What kind of housing is available for students? 9. Tell me about the meal options available on campus. 10. What student organizations are active on campus? 11. What kind of financial aid, scholarship and work-study programs are available? 12. How safe is the campus? What are the crime statistics? 13. When are admission applications due?
