5 Questions to ask on a campus tour
Posted on Monday, December 10th, 2018
A tour is the best way to get a feel for the campus and imagine what life will be like if you study here. Our campus tours are led by real students, which means you’ll get real answers.
Here are a few questions to ask to make the most out of your visit!
What’s student life like?
If events, concerts, or workshops are important to you, ask about what takes place for students throughout the year. Maybe you’re into sports, so you can find out about varsity athletics, intramural sports, or the gym. If you like to lay low, knowing there are great study spaces and quieter events like movie nights might be helpful. Think about how you like to spend your time and ask questions to see if student life matches your interests and social needs.
What kind of support is available?
College is a big change and we all need support at some point. Asking about the student services that are available could ease your mind if you need them later on. We have counsellors, health services, career services, peer tutoring, and much more – consider what’s important to you and ask your tour ambassador for more information.
Where’s the best food on campus?
It’s these little inside secrets that will give you an edge once school starts! Find out where to grab the best burger, the tastiest smoothies, and more. If you have any dietary restrictions, it’s a great time to ask about those options. You can even get something to eat after your tour if you want a taste of food on campus.
Where will my classes take place?
Taking a peek at the buildings or classrooms where you might be spending your time will give you a good sense of what your days might look like. Just walking around the buildings with your tour group will give you an idea of what the campus is all about.
Why did you choose to study here?
Since your tour will be led by a real student, ask them why they chose to study here. They’ll likely have some good insights that you hadn’t considered before. They’re here to help you, so use them to your advantage!
