Preparing for Your Visit
Before Your Visit
Choose your campus visit date and register in advance.
Sign up for an info session led by an admissions counselor and an Atlanta Campus tour led by a student tour guide. You will be granted complimentary parking for registering in advance online.
Do some research before visiting.
Visit the Georgia State website at gsu.edu and investigate majors, academic departments and student involvement opportunities. Want to know who will be leading your tours? Meet our talented staff of tour guides. You can also connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.
Explore Georgia State virtually before arriving on campus.
You can take our Virtual Tour or download a printable campus map. Schedule your visit for when classes are in session. This will give you a sense of what campus life is like in full swing and what it will be like when you’re a student. You can also check out Georgia State’s Event Highlights to find out if any campus events are being held during your visit.
Prepare a list of questions.
Campus visits are incredible opportunities to speak with Admissions Counselors, current students, faculty and staff, all in one day. If you’re interested in meeting with a representative, call the specific office and ask about appointments. Meet with your admissions counselor. Counselors are assigned by each student’s U.S. state or Georgia county of residence or student type.
Make it a family event.
Choosing a university is an important milestone that you may want to share with loved ones and friends. Just remember to keep an open mind and focus on what you’re looking for in a college.
Create your final itinerary.
If you have other appointments on campus, please schedule them for before or after your allotted information session and Atlanta Campus tour times. Try not to rush from one thing to the next. Make it a point to visit only one university or college in a given day so that you can fully absorb and appreciate each experience.
