2. Attend an on-campus event
Throughout the school year, there are a number of events that are open to prospective students including sporting event, a theatre production, a gallery opening, or a music performance. Go experience your future campus!
3. Follow the universities that you’re interested in on social media
Instagram or TikTok is a great way to keep up on what’s going on, what’s coming up, and the general feeling of a campus. You’ll be able to see student club events, upcoming events, and get to know current students.
