Campus Tour Tips

  • Invite your parents. We’d love to meet them, too.
  • Develop a list of questions and be sure to ask them. Answering questions is your tour guide's favorite job.
  • Allow enough time to get the “feel” of the campus. After the “official” tour, consider spending some time on your own walking around and seeing the sites.
  • Remember that parking can sometimes be a challenge. You may want to arrive early to find the right spot.
  • Pick up an Application for Admission form and a campus map.
  • Don’t hesitate to discuss finances. Consider making an appointment with the financial aid office.
  • Pay close attention to the library and computer labs. Notice their location, size, scope, and availability to students.
  • Try to visit a typical class you may take. For example, if you are interested in biology, tour the lab. Or better yet, make an appointment to meet a faculty member.
  • College life is more than the classroom. Check out the cafeteria, student lounges, and recreation areas.
  • Talk to the students you see. They’ll be your classmates and friends. Ask them questions about what Amarillo College is “really like.”
  • Make notes of your reactions to the college. It will help you remember what you liked about Amarillo College.
  • If you decide to attend Amarillo College, fill out your application for admission, financial aid, and scholarships early.
