Campus Visits on Weekend
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 4:11 pm
So I really want to visit most of the schools I've been accepted to but they are spread out over the country. I have never been on any of the campuses and really want to do more research than I did for undergrad.
I understand the highlight of visits is actually sitting in on a class and getting to talk to and see students as well as talking to financial aid and admissions.
Unfortunately to visit all these schools would require some time off work that I can' afford so was wondering how realistic/beneficial it was for me to visit on the weekends? Obviously financial aid and admissions is closed, but I can call financial aid later and I've already been admitted, but I'm bummed I won't get to sit in on a class. One school said they could set me up with a student ambassador from my undergrad to possibly meet up with so I can discuss the school and see the surrounding area....am I missing out a lot?
Maybe I could at lease use this to narrow down my search and then once I have complete finanical aid info and narros my schools down to 2 or 3 can go back and visit those during April admit days??
