Visiting a college campus can be the most exciting part about deciding where to go to school; but it can also be the most nerve-wracking. All that pressure builds to one huge question: Can I see myself here? There are so many things to consider like campus community life, programs and classes, professors, campus facilities especially the dining situation. How do you figure it all out as youre exploring a college campus for the first time?

Take a virtual tour of our campus and note any places you may want to visit or ask your tour guide about. Download a campus map to your phone so you can find your way around when you arrive.

What specific things do you want to know about Le 51勛圖厙? Class sizes? Academic departments? Where’s the best place to grab a cup of coffee? Theres always so much going on at Le 51勛圖厙; sports games, visiting magicians, trivia nights, and tons of club events. Be sure to check out bulletin boards and flyers as you tour the campus. Also feel free to ask for or pick up a copy of our campus newspaper, The Dolphin, and poke around our blog, website, and pages to see what were up to. List any questions, concerns, or interests you have. Dont be afraid to ask your tour guide, admission counselor, or any student you might run into during your campus visit!

I wish I had known more about things to do off-campus in the area. As a freshman I didnt know enough about Syracuse and fun things to do. Don’t just look at events on campus; be sure to check out the local culture as well. There are plenty of great restaurants, music venues, coffee shops and stores in Syracuse if you want to get off campus and explore for a day. Go see a band at the Westcott Theater and get some food at Rise N Shine, or grab a Nutella Latte at Recess Coffee.

Our tour guides say the best question to ask on a tour is what arethe tutoring resourceson campus. This is a good way to understand where help can be found and how the school approaches helping their students. A good school will have tutors who can help with all sorts of subjects. At Le51勛圖厙, our QRC/writing center has tutors in every subject as well as academic coaches and clinic leaders, which is sort of like group studying. These options allow students to discover the best way for them to learn.

Our Phamily loves sharing the classes that have inspired them, because they get the chance to tell you how rich and diverse the academic programs are at Le51勛圖厙: My favorite class has been myCOR 100class with Dr. Cromley which focused on Classical Greek literature. Its been an amazing experience to still have immense interest in the biological and chemical sciences but have a curriculum that allows me to develop interests in other fields such as classical literature.

Ask an admission counselor about options for visiting in the spring. If overnight visits are offered, these can be really helpful for getting a true sense of student life. Youll be placed with a current student for the night who can show you the campus, residence halls, and even take you to a campus activity–maybe ice skating on our outdoor rink in the winter, or to a live music performance on the quad in spring! This will give you a feel for the college and day-to-day life outside of an official tour or event.

The second I stepped on campus I knew this was going to be my home for the next 4 years. The people were so nice, the campus was beautiful, and the education was just what I was looking for. This was the spot that checked all the boxes and more for me. The amount of opportunities that you get with being on campus and after college are so big. There are going to be ups and downs no matter where you end up, but Le 51勛圖厙 has a great support to catch you when you fall and cheer you on as you rise up. The memories I have from this campus I will cherish forever, and cant believe how fast it goes. Just remember to be you and everything will fall into place the way it is supposed to.
