Admitted Come Visit!

Admitted Come Visit! Congratulations, youve been admitted! Were so excited for you and hope you are ready to join the Illinois legacy. Visiting the campuses youve been admitted to and are deciding between attending is such an important part of the process. We hope you feel at home on our campus in Champaign-Urbana, and theres no better way to know that for sure than to come visit. All of our visit programs can be found on our website. Now, lets break down what these visit options are. Admitted Daily Visits Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. These days start at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. An admissions counselor (maybe me!) will kick things off with an admitted student presentation given by an admissions counselor. Youll be with other admitted studentsâ€"hopefully your future classmatesâ€"and well walk through what you need to know and do before enrolling on campus in the fall and joining our Illinois family. Once the presentation is over, well send you off on a campus tour with our tour guides at 11:00 a.m. After that, the day is yours to make the most of your time on campus. You can register to meet with the college youve been admitted to, tour a residence hall, or maybe sit in on one of your future classes! Illini Days Select Mondays and Fridays at 9:30 a.m. These days are a fantastic way to get the full picture of life on campus as a student. They start the same way as our Admitted Daily Visits, but they also include over 30 departments at a Campus Resources Fair, a meeting with your college, multiple tour options, and the chance to meet with Financial Aid, Housing, the Career Center, and other offices on campus. Students typically arrive on campus by 8:30 a.m. and stay on campus until 3:30 p.m. More Options Multiple College Open Housesare also held throughout the spring. Put on by the colleges themselves, these are great events to attend as well to see everything your college has to offer. You can also choose to sit in on a class during your visit. If you dont see one specifically related to your major, I still encourage you to sit in on a topic that sounds interesting to you! All of the professors on the list gladly welcome prospective students in their classes. In addition, I highly recommend visiting a residence hall (or two!) while youre on campus. All freshmen are required to live on campus their first year, so this is a great way to get a sense of what options you have. Keep in mind that there are about 38 options total, so by no means should you expect to visit them all while youre on campus! Virtual Visits Cant make it to campus? No worries. Weve created some great tools for you to explore campus virtually. University Housing has quick virtual tours of their residence halls, too. Let us know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you on campus soon! Hannah Admissions Counselor I grew up just 30 minutes north of Champaign-Urbana and am a recent graduate of Illinois. As a former Pathway student, I understand the challenges of adapting to life at both a community college as well as a four-year institution. Whatever you're wondering about, I'll help you out!
