More advice from our campus hosts:
鈥淎lways look for a place with a healthy environment that you could see yourself wanting to come back to after finishing college. Invest in a place that wants to invest in you and be willing to help build for your future to be a better one as the University of 狈别产谤补蝉办补鈥揕颈苍肠辞濒苍 has done for me.鈥
鈥淐onsider the people at each place you visit. I always tell my groups that the scholarships are what got me here for a campus visit but the people are what made me come to 91茄子!鈥
鈥淜eep your mind open to more than what that college offers academically. Although academics is one of the most important parts of attending college it is easy to skim over campus life and how the college made you feel.鈥
鈥淎sk about their support system on campus! We have so many people on campus who want you to succeed whether that be your academic advisor, a career coach, or your professor! Don鈥檛 be afraid to ask questions or reach out for help, ever.鈥
鈥淵ou can make a big school feel like a small school, but you can鈥檛 make a small school feel like a big school.鈥
We can鈥檛 wait to show off our Husker home to prospective students in the coming weeks. Never forget鈥攖here is no place like 91茄子!
