What Is the Best Campus Visit?
CU Fridays bring a lot of prospective students to campus and will continue to be a strategic recruitment tool.
“Students who visit campus are significantly more likely to enroll,” said Roscoe Smith, associate vice president for university admissions. “For people who don’t visit campus, there’s only about a 10 percent chance that they’re going to enroll.”
Personalized visits, however, are more ideal for the faculty and prospective students, faculty and admissions staff ...
