HOW SHOULD I VISIT?
We recommend an in-person visit if you can! If you visit in-person, you’ll get to see campus for yourself and see if it’s the right fit for you. If you are unable to visit in-person, check out our virtual campus tour from the comfort of your home.
WHAT DO I ASK?
Ask everything! An Admissions Counselor will tell you everything you need to know about campus. We also encourage getting to know your tour guide and asking them questions about their personal college experience. This will help you picture what your life could look like in college.
WHEN SHOULD I VISIT?
One of the most important things you will do during your college planning experience to make sure the university is the best fit for you is visiting campus. We encourage you to visit UA as often as you would like. Attend one of our major visit days. Then, come back for a more personalized experience.
