birchbark Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 We're going to our first college visit this week :willy_nilly: and just wondering if anyone has helpful advice. It's Embry Riddle; DS is very interested in the aviation industry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Job121 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 How exciting! Are you going on a campus tour? Tours are nice, but I think we got better idea of the school by talking to students. Why they choose that specific school? What do they like about the school? What is their favorite activities? Stop by student center and chat for a while. It might be awkward at first, but many students are very open to talk to strangers about their school. Don't forget to try their food. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Try the food, definitely :laugh: Take notes and pictures, it's hard to keep things straight after a couple of visits. Do wander around a bit on your own if time allows, it will give you a better feel for the campus vibe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaichiki Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Dh took ds on a few university tours. ERAU was the favorite (for both of them). Dh was super impressed. Ds felt "at home" there and didn't want to leave. He was accepted... now we are waiting to hear back about 8 more college applications and finances will play a part in the decision-making process. Ds would be really, really happy to be able to attend ERAU. Enjoy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
