Tour!
I’ve seen a lot of tours around lately. I remember visiting during a Black and Gold Day. I believe you can visit the school anytime, but there are special days where programs are offered to give you more insight into the school. There are several times to visit. One includes Mizzou Black and Gold Day where admissions holds an overview of the school, financial aid, and residential life. There is then a campus tour and a FREE lunch at a wonderful dining hall. You got to love the freebies. Visits are usually held on Fridays and enrollment is online. The next Black and Gold day is March 16. The next Meet Mizzou Day is April 7.
I remember lugging around a huge bag of glossy brochures, but it also allowed me the opportunity to envision myself at the school that I would be going to for the next four years of my life. I visited once during my junior year and once during my senior year. My mom and I loved the college visits. I visited 12 colleges altogether (Boston College, Boston University, Yale, Williams, Stanford, New York University, Syracuse University, Pepperdine University, Drake, University of Kansas, USC and Mizzou). I got to go on so many vacations masquerading as college visits. It allowed me the opportunity to know what to look for in a college and be completely happy with the school I finally chose.
