REGISTER FOR A GUIDED TOUR Self-Guided Tour While our self-guided tour is fairly self-explanatory, it might be a fit for you if you’ve already taken a guided tour, or if you come when Admissions is closed or not offering information sessions and tours (which isn’t often).
If their website is easy to navigate, accommodation policies are clearly explained, and you can immediately find the right avenues for seeking help, then there’s a good chance that they do. They also prioritize creating a welcoming and accommodatingcampus environment for all students. No, disclosure is not mandatory.
Religious Life: If practicing your faith is important, explore the religious resources available on campus. Accessibility: If you have specific needs, such as accommodations for a disability, ensure the school can support you. These are excellent opportunities to visit campus, meet current students, and get a feel for the community.
This is an excellent way to accommodate specific segments of your audience Targeted Social Media Ads: Leverage social media platforms’ advanced targeting capabilities to reach prospective students with personalized ads. Example: The Great Lakes College of Toronto provides a Chinese translation for prospects from Chinese backgrounds.
These student ambassadors can contribute to your marketing strategy across various touch points and channels—including posting social media posts, writing blogs, hosting campustours, and assisting with fairs and fundraising events. In this way, your student ambassadors can influence the emotional drivers behind enrollment.
This also allows you to create compelling video content that makes it easy for prospects to imagine life on your campus. Example: In a YouTube video, King’s College London introduces one of its student ambassadors as they provide a virtual campustour.
How can prospective students and their parents get ideas about a diverse campus? Obviously, they should take a visit beyond the campustour and information session. But they’re supposed to be nice and present the best picture of a diverse campus, and do that very well. Consider the food selection.
Alongside these, traditional marketing techniques—such as print advertisements, open house events, and campustours—remain valuable for making connections and showcasing the unique atmosphere of the institution. Additionally, establishing strong and consistent branding is pivotal.
Schools are investing in video marketing strategies, including virtual campustours, student testimonials , and live-streaming events, to attract and engage prospective students. Modern learners seek educational experiences that accommodate their diverse lifestyles, commitments, and learning preferences.
Google Search as you know it, and its native search algorithm, is shifting gears to accommodate these sweeping changes. When a prospective student opts to read about a university’s course offerings, they might also fancy watching a campustour video or scrolling through a gallery that captures student life.
Student ambassadors can provide a campustour, share their own experiences, or even help with hosting events that will appear on your social media. Example : The University of Liverpool has shared a short video with different students sharing their student experience on campus.
Showcasing Campus Life One of the most powerful back-to-school post ideas is visually showcasing campus life through social media. Virtual campustours are a powerful tool for this purpose. Pro tip: As you craft back-to-school posts, don’t forget to appeal to accommodate newcomers.
The best way to do that is to schedule a handful of campustours the summer before or early in junior year. More students than ever before come to campus with the need for learning accommodations. It is hard to build a college list until you see some campuses in person so you can get a sense for personal fit.
These programs are often designed with students from low-income, first-generation, or otherwise underrepresented backgrounds in mind, as a way to provide equal access to campustours and other admissions resources. Fly-in programs offer prospective students a more immersive campus visit experience.
KW: Maybe they want to take another campustour, or maybe they just want to know what the college transition is like, we are there to help and support. I think you talked a bit about how many spots there are, but I guess how many students can you accommodate? For how many rooms can we accommodate from the hotel?
I’ll do my best to accommodate. Best, [Your Name] If you have the opportunity to take a campustour, you should also make it a priority to meet with students and faculty (the latter may require arranging an appointment in advance). Thanks for your time and consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Plan a Virtual CampusTour If you’re still exploring different colleges or haven’t even started yet, that’s OK, there’s still time! Even if you only end up sleeping at your residence hall, you’ll spend at least one-quarter of your freshman year there. So you owe it to yourself to check it out.
To accommodate the growing demand for higher education, more for-profit colleges have been established, which means non-profit schools have had to do more to market themselves to prospective students. Colleges currently spend $10 billion/year on recruitment, and some estimate that this expenditure will eventually reach $100 billion/year.
