Questions to Ask on a College Tour

The most effective way to find out if PLU is the right place for you is to visit! We want to help you get the most out of your day at PLU and any other college you visit. The following questions are universal, so use them when you visit PLU, but keep them in mind as you visit other colleges as well.

Ask your admissions counselor:

What types of financial aid does your school provide?
  What percent of students graduate in four years? What is the national average?
What is the retention rate?
  When do students declare a major?
  Can students design their own major?
  Do students have academic advisors?
  What support services does the university provide? Is there a charge for these services?
  Do students receive free email and internet access?
  Does the school have strong international study programs?
  What services does Campus Safety provide?
  What is the student to faculty ratio and average class size? Do these statistics include classes taught by teaching assistants?
  What clubs and organizations are active on campus?


Ask your tour guide:

  What do you like most about this school? Least?
  What are classes like?
  Do professors or teaching assistants teach the classes?
  What is the social life like?
  Do many students go home on the weekends?
  Where do students hang out?
  Are there curfews in the residence halls?
  What are some fun activities that students do in and around the community?


Ask your overnight host:

  Where do you like to study?
  What types of activities are available in the halls?
  Can I bring a refrigerator?
  Do students get in to campus events for free?
  Do many students have cars?
