Question: Did you learn more about India from the facts or by watching Slumdog Millionaire?
Answer: Slumdog Millionaire, absolutely! (If you haven’t seen it, don’t wait any longer.)
That’s the same reason you should visit a college; the facts are interesting, the buildings are nice, but what really matters are the people, the students, the faculty and in our case, the Friars! You can’t read that in a brochure and so far neither Hollywood nor Bollywood have accepted our screenplay for a full length feature film about Siena!
So, why is your visit important to an admissions committee?
Because finding the right fit and being comfortable with your decision are the keys to your success in college.
Did you know that when students are active in their college search and visit the college they ultimately attend, they are 10 percent more likely to graduate in four years than a student who didn’t visit?
Here are some tips for a successful college visit:
1. Ask questions: Utilize the admissions counselors, faculty and administrators you meet on campus and don’t forget to ask for their business cards!
2. Talk to the students: It doesn’t get any better than being a college student, but why trust us when you can chat with one and find out for yourself?
3. Stock up on information: Grab those college catalogs, major brochures, literary magazines, and student newspapers.
4. Go to a class: Take the opportunity to sit in on a class or two in topics you hope to major in. Watch the professors bring their years of training and expertise to life for you.
5. Try the food: It's not mom’s, but you may like it!
