Building Positive Impression On Your First Campus Visit
After you have decided and your aim about
your colleges is clear in front of your eyes, you find yourself with a list of
colleges in your hand waiting for your visit. Yes it’s a time to make a tour of
the campus you will most probably join. In your first visit you are likely to
meet the receptionist and the tour guide. These two are the most important ones
to be taken into confidence as they can be of great help in future.
First
meeting with the Receptionist and the tour guide:
The very first person that you are going to
interact with in the college campus is the receptionist. Your first interaction
with the concerned should start with a smile after which as her responsibility
she asks you to fill out the information form or sign the guest book. You
should have a gentle attitude towards them and then put forward your queries as
the admission employees are there to help you and sometimes it can also be a
student worker who can be providing much relevant information to you.
Similarly your interaction with the tour
guide should be a confident one and start with an introduction of yourself
followed by a handshake. If she is equally interested and approaches you with
some question do reply them in an interesting manner may be that you get many
things to know from the person.
Interaction
during the tour:
During the tour you should honestly give that
time period to these people who act as volunteers taking out time from their
busy schedule only to help you specifying their educational qualities of their
institute. So do take interest and try to answer them interestingly and try to
be an enjoyable company rather than a zombie.
After
the Campus Tour:
After the tour of the campus is over do
remember to thank the person for his devoted time and efforts that the
individual has spent behind you. Try to get personal and ask certain additional
questions which you could not during the tour and exchange the email address
and try to send a thanking note via the Email which helps to create a memorable
space in the mind for you. Campus mails are appreciated by the college students
which they can mention in the admission office and who knows can get noted in
your file. So do try to give a positive impact on the person.
