TOURS OF CAMPUS FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

The school you attend can be one of the most important investments in your life, so you will want to learn as much as possible about the colleges and universities you are considering. Brochures and catalogs can tell you much, but a visit to the campus can go beyond that in providing information. You can learn not only about the facilities, but also about the mood and the atmosphere of an institution and its people. A campus visit gives you the opportunity to experience the total environment, including the host community. After all, you will not be spending all your time in the classroom.

During a visit you can meet with campus personnel in a variety of situations. You can talk to an Enrollment Services counselor, to faculty members, and to students, and you can eat in campus dining facilities. When you set up an appointment for a visit to UND, we can assist you with arrangements to stay in town or on campus.

Tell us when you want to come and we will work out the details. We will send you a special brochure about visiting the University to help answer questions about what to do when you come to campus. If special arrangements are needed, let us know in advance. It is best if you give us a weekÕs notice for a visit, but feel free to stop in or call at any time. The easiest way to set up a visit is to call the Office of Enrollment Services, (701) 777-4463, or write to: Office of Enrollment Services, Box 8135, Grand Forks, ND 58202.
