Campus VisitsThe Office of Admission at Alma college suggests
you ask these questions: How is admission to the college determined? How do I have a campus tour? Sit in on a class?
Have lunch in a dining hall? Stay overnight in a dorm?
Do you have a Career Planning program? What is the school’s overall job placement rate?
What is it in my intended major? What kinds of financial aid programs are
available? What extra forms do I fill out? Are there any special scholarships offered by the school or its alumni?
Can I have a car on campus during my freshman year?
What are the dorm facilities like?
