Questions Parents Should Ask on Campus Visits

• How does your school support its freshman? Inquire about orientation programs, mandatory classes or events for freshman, academic advising, and if tutoring or counseling are provided.

• How secure is the campus? Find out if campus police regularly patrol, whether escorts and shuttle buses are available late night, if dorm safety is a priority, and if lighting is adequate.

• Is there a Health Services Center? Ask about its location and its operating hours, what emergency response is like, possible fees, if a doctor is always on call, and if there is a nearby hospital.

• What is the surrounding community like? Learn about shopping and dining options. Inquire about part-time jobs and if public transportation is available.

• Can we attend a class? Sit in on a lecture. Notice the class size, student participation, the kind of assignments given, and if a teaching assistant is leading the class instead of a professor.

• What’s for lunch? Get an idea about a college’s dining options by eating a meal in a dining hall. Observe things like the quality and variety of foods offered, portion size, healthy options, and cleanliness.
