Visit the campus

Hi all,

I am in the process of applying to a handful of programs. I am interested in visiting/touring the campus of several of the programs that are within a few hours' drive from me. One of the program directors I spoke with encouraged me to do this.

I've been wondering if anyone has done this - pre-arranged with a program director or other program staff to visit the campus. My big question is: what do you wear? Do you go all out in your interview attire? Or, assuming there is going to be a lot of walking, and since it's not really an interview, does business casual (dress pants, nice sweater, etc) do the trick? I have tried searching to find out what the proper etiquette for this situation is, but no luck so far.

If you have done this, please let me know what your experience was like. Besides what you wore (or wish you would have worn), what did the visit consist of? Was it relaxed, or more of a pre-interview? I just want to be prepared.

Thank you!

    This is your chance to make a good first impression. Treat this like it is an interview. Wear a suit, ask questions that are not answered on the school website, and show genuine interest in the program. Ask what they look for in an ideal candidate for the program so you can put in the fine details to polish your application. Ask them if you can shadow a CRNA in their program so you can see the clinical experience the school provides then give them a good thank you note afterwards. A hand written one is always better, but email will suffice. Good luck!

    I wouldn't go as far as wear a suit, they might think you are trying too hard. Of course I would wear something professional, business meeting style. This is a great idea, wish I would have done this. Good luck!

    If you will be meeting with the program director, I would definitely wear a suit. First impressions are everything. Just wear a pair of more-comfortable dress shoes for the walking.
