Advice for Campus Visitations from the Admissions Staff

  david graves        july 3rd, 2013 in blog.

Many students will have travel plans during the summer and for rising seniors those plans often include visiting colleges they plan to apply to in the fall.  Here are some tips and advice from our admissions staff of things to keep in mind as you plan your campus visits.

• Do your homework .  Go online to websites of the colleges you are visiting.  Learn what you want to do while you’re on campus.  Check for visitation calendars, see if you need to register for a tour, etc.  Review a campus map to become familiar with where you are going.  If you are visiting UGA and you have an iPhone, download our App  which includes a campus map among its many features.
• Wear comfortable shoes.  Campus tours will almost always include a walking tour.  Now is not the time to break-in a new pair of shoes!
• Come prepared.  Go ahead and start thinking about the questions you want to ask and write them down.  You don’t want to forget once you’re there.  Determine where you are going to need to park and find an address if you’re using a navigational device.  Be aware that while some areas may have visitor parking, this is not always free.
• Check the weather.   Look online to see what the weather is going to be like the day of your visit.  Bring an umbrella if there’s a chance of rain.  If it’s going to be hot bring plenty of water to stay hydrated.  You may even want to consider packing sunscreen.  It’s also never a bad idea to layer your clothing as temperatures outside may change throughout the day.
• Plan for lunch. Visits often last at least a couple of hours and you’re probably going to get hungry so go ahead and make plans for lunch.  Do you want to try the food you’ll be eating as a UGA student on the meal plan?  Check out the summer schedule for our Dining Halls here .  Visitors are able to pay to eat at one of our award-winning Dining Halls, and it’s all you care to eat!  There are also many great local restaurant options in downtown Athens.

Explore Athens

Quirky vibes. Southern charm.

Athenians like to describe Athens as a small town with big-city amenities. What they mean is no matter what your interests are, you can find people who share your passion. If you like art, Athens is home to Georgia’s state art museum , but it’s also home to galleries where you can volunteer and meet other artists. If you like sports, you can take in a football game at Sanford Stadium or join an adult soccer rec league. If you like music, you can check out big-name bands at the town’s storied music venues or find people to jam with on your back porch.

Arts and Culture

Athens is an artistic hotbed, from its world-renowned music scene, which spawned groups like R.E.M., Widespread Panic and the B-52s, to its multitude of offerings for those interested in visual art, crafts, theater, performance and much more. Catch a concert at one of several legendary music venues, enjoy art at local galleries, or nurture your creative side by taking a pottery class or showcasing your talents at the next open mic night.

The Outdoors Awaits

Located about an hour from hundreds of miles of trails nestled into the Blue Ridge Mountains and great kayaking and fishing, Athens is an ideal home base for those who want to spend their weekends in the wilderness. But there are plenty of places to get outside during the week, including more than 40 miles of natural surface, wooded hiking trails and a 4.5-mile mountain biking course. There’s also a 12-mile and growing network of paved multi-use trails connecting the park system to the university and downtown Athens.

Foodie Destination

Named one of the most Underrated Food Cities in the South by  USA Today , Athens’ food scene can satisfy whatever craving you have, including gourmet and homestyle barbecue, authentic international cuisine and modern twists on Southern classics. With plenty of places to visit in the walkable downtown as well as surrounding neighborhoods, you’ll have a tough time deciding on your new favorite spot.

Appealing and Eclectic

Athens is outstanding by many measures:

• South’s Best College Town  (Southern Living, March 2022)
• Coolest College Towns in America  (The Discoverer, 2021)
• The Most Underrated Travel Destinations in the U.S.  (HuffPost, November 2021)
• Best Cities in the U.S. for Craft Beers and Brews  (Fodors.com, November 2021)

Where should I stay if I am traveling from out of town?

There are a number of hotels located within a short drive of our campuses. For more information on lodging, please select which campus you will be attending for your visit:

What should I wear?

Because your campus visit will include a one hour walking tour, we strongly encourage you to wear comfortable walking shoes and to dress appropriately for the forecasted weather. During the summer months, Statesboro, Savannah and Hinesville can be quite warm and humid. No matter the weather, the Office of Admissions will provide you with a bottled water prior to your tour departure.

Statesboro Campus Free visitor parking is available in front of Lewis Hall (Office of Admissions) on Sweetheart Circle. If you have trouble finding a parking spot, additional parking spots may be available in the parking lot behind Lewis Hall.

Armstrong Campus in Savannah A link to complete a visitor’s parking pass will be sent to you the day prior to your visit. Please park in any visitor spot and be sure your parking pass is visible on your car dashboard.

Liberty Campus in Hinesville Please park in any spot not reserved.

When should I check in for my visit?

Yes. While you will hear from one of our counselors during your information session, you may also make an appointment to sit down one-on-one with them at the end of your visit. Please call the Office of Admissions at 912-478-5851 to schedule your appointment.

Do you offer tours in Spanish?

Yes. Tours can be given in Spanish upon request. A minimum of two weeks notice is required. Please contact the Office of Admissions for more information.

Will I be able to visit a residence hall on the tour?

Unfortunately, in Statesboro, we do not have a residence hall on our tour route that features a model room to be shown. However, University Housing offers tours of Eagle Village, an apartment-style residence hall on campus, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Eagle Village is located at 410 Georgia Ave., Statesboro, GA 30458. Visit the University Housing website to learn more about Eagle Village and all of our other residential communities on campus.

If you are visiting the Armstrong campus , you will see a model room during your tour.

Will I be able to go inside the Recreation Activity Center (RAC) or Armstrong Recreation Center (ARC) on the tour?

Unfortunately, the Recreation Activity Center (RAC) is not shown on the campus tour, as it is not located in the central part of campus. However, you are welcome to visit the RAC during normal business hours.

The Armstrong Recreation Center (ARC) is part of the tour of the Armstrong Campus in Savannah.

If you would like a tour of the RAC or a more in depth tour of the ARC, stop by the information desk in the lobby at the RAC or the ARC to request a personal tour of the facility given by a campus recreation staff member. Visit the Recreation Activity Center website or the Armstrong Recreation Center website to learn more about these world-class facilities and view hours of operation.

Can I eat on campus during my visit?

Yes. The Office of Admissions has partnered with Eagle Dining Services to offer discounted passes ($11.50/person) for lunch at our Dining Commons on the Statesboro campus and The Galley on the Armstrong Campus on the day of your campus visit. Ask our staff about the discounted voucher.

Are school excuses available?

Yes. We will be happy to provide you with an official school excuse after your official campus visit with admissions has ended. We will only provide an excuse for the day that you visited Georgia Southern University.

Fun place to shop. Store has all kinds of items, beach wear to shark teeth. Has some really great deals.

Our guests from Minnesota went home happy and more knowledgeable about shark teeth and how to find them after our appointment with Kaytelynne, our experienced guide in such matters! The weather wasn't cooperating leading up to the day of our reservations, but she did a great job of communicating! She does the advance work to spot the best areas on the island to increase the bounty of your adventure. She noted to me that since the tides and ocean are constantly moving and somewhat unpredictable, she watches for where the debris is deposited and also notes where other beach-hunters aren't, all of which to add to your odds of a great time! Her scouting efforts went to great effect for our group of seven. We joined others to form a shark tooth foraging party and were led by our wise, cordial and friendly guide. Kaytelynne was like and old friend, who knew bunches of things about sharks the rest of the group of 19 of us from all over. She can tell you the size of the donor, type of species, and even length of the shark each comes from. Also found are other ocean offerings like fossils. She can tell you about the history of them all. You'll receive a helpful little pouch for your finds. If you aren't successful seeking where she leads the group, simply say so, and Katelynne will use her wooden pointer to circle an area for your closer examination, saying there are teeth for you to spot and take. Her purpose is to train your eyes to spot what the ocean has given you to claim! Most remarkably, consider this not just a one time outing, but and educational excursion that will ensure that you never look at the sand in the same old way, ever again!!

With teeth he reclaimed from the ocean, our grandson found new meaning in the 'Baby Shark' song!! Heard it all the way home!

This bag is given to participants to place your found bounty of teeth and fossils in. A great memory to have!

Thank you so much for your amazing review! It is absolutely my goal to help each and every one of you! - We also had a rather abnormally large group out as well due to the weather issues over the weekend. I do my absolute best to ensure I help everyone as much as I can. Happy Hunting new friend! I hope to see your family out on the beach sometime again!
