Planning a visit to Santa Clara University

I’ve just shortlisted Santa Clara University and would love to visit the campus before making my decision. Can anyone guide me as to how I can schedule a visit and what I should look out for during the tour?

Absolutely! Both in-person and virtual visits are a great way to get to know a school and its campus environment better before making your final choice. Santa Clara University offers both in-person campus tours and virtual tours for those who cannot physically visit the campus. You can schedule a visit to the campus by going to their official website and selecting the 'Visit' option under the 'Admissions' tab. You typically get to choose between different types of visits: standard campus tours, academic tours, and student life tours.

While planning your visit, it's best to cater to your specific interests. If academics are your primary focus, try to attend an academic tour or talk with a professor or two, if possible. If you're more intrigued by student life, try to have a chat with current students, visit the dorms, and check out the student activity facilities.Aside from scheduled activities, make sure to pay attention to the general ambiance and the interactions among students. It's also worth exploring the surrounding area of the campus. This can give you a sense of the community and what entertainment, recreation, or part-time job opportunities exist locally.Remember, a campus visit is as much about gathering information as it is about experiencing the feel of the college, so be sure to listen to your gut feeling and note what you loved and what you didn't. Lastly, don't forget to have fun while you're exploring!
