@Tomfc1 @momsthebest Hello, thank you for your commentary, I wanted to clarify that as a first gen student who had never visited a college before I thought that waiting for my host was normal, and that the way things were proceding were how all colleges visits were. Before coming I also did a lot of research as far as to the event and the campus itself, so I thought I was prepared, the activities were not on the website so I didn’t know that I would be missing out on that, and I was unaware that food vouchers even existed until I was handed them late. By the time I found out about the activities, it was also too late for me to talk to someone, and by the next day, I asked for my packet, but once again, since I hadn’t known about it before I missed out on things I would have liked to partake in. I do agree that I could have spoken up while at the school, but I kept telling myself that maybe I just had to change my attitude because that’s how I thought college trips were supposed to play out. Also, the only reason I posted on here was because I did called the school the day after my visit and completed the questionnaire as well so I could tell them about my experience. I was told that they would talk to the dean of admissions and he would get back to me to discuss the incident but I never received word back at all which is what dissapointed me the most about the school. Also as a last thing to comment on, I didn’t attend the admitted students day (even though I had already been accepted) but attended the earliee event called the Winter Visit day, so maybe that played a part in it too since there were less people than im assuming the admitted students day. I’m sure it’s a great place, and I really did try to make the best of it, then again I just wanted to share my personal experience and why I personally wouldn’t be attending.
