Take Away from Campus Visits – Fall 2022

TTS members who attended fall campus visits share feedback from their trips. Participating in these events helped them realize the importance of:

• Dorm size matters
• Getting out and seeing campus in-person
  • feeling the “vibe” of campus
  • realizing size of campus matters
  • envisioning what campus life would be like
  • discovering extracurricular activities/programs offered
    • do they offer my program of interest?
• Comparing advantages of campuses (smaller university to larger)
  • Smaller campus offer:
    • a better fit for people who get overwhelmed in a crowd
    • buildings are closer together
    • smaller class sizes and instructor-to-student ratio
  • Larger campus offer:
    • more opportunities to interact with a wider variety of people
    • greater distance between building means time management is crucial
    • larger class size and instructor-to-student ratio
• Eliminating/falling-in-love with campus
  • “Now I know I don’t want to go there.”
  • “I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go [here] until now.“
• Learn about scholarship opportunities
  • FREE money available
• Some campuses allow pets
