Questions to Ask at Campus Visit

As the Office of Admission prepares for your arrival to campus, there are some things you can begin to think about to help make the most out of your visit.

Each person you encounter during your visit will probably ask you questions.  Some you will anticipate and others may catch you off guard.  Keep in mind that the person asking is trying to get to know you and your interests better. 

You may have questions for an admission counselor, faculty member, athletic coach or current student.  These may be as general as asking about the admission process or something specific about an academic department.  Below is a list of questions that you may want to think about asking during your visit to Linfield’s campus.

Questions for your admission counselor

• What kinds of students do well in the department?
• What are specific graduation requirements for students in the major?
