Visit
See for yourself
A campus visit is one of the best ways to figure out if a college feels right for you. When you visit the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, you’ll see what students learn, hang out and get a glimpse of the community that could be your home.
- Walk through classrooms, labs, and hands-on learning spaces
- Meet with students who are already living the college experience
- Learn about majors and careers you may not even know exist!
- Get answers to your questions — big, small or in-between

A few simple things can make your visit easier and more fun:
- A small bag or backpack
- A phone for photos, notes and the campus map
- A water bottle and comfortable shoes – you’ll probably walk a lot!
- A pen and notebook if you take notes by hand
- A list of questions you don’t want to forget to ask
- Optional: a family member, friend or valued supporter who can help you think through what you see and hear
- A phone for photos, notes and the campus map
You don’t need to dress up – just wear something that’s comfortable for walking.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before your visit. But thinking about a few questions ahead of time can help you get the most out of your day. You might ask:
- What is it really like to be a student in CFAES?
- How big are most classes?
- What kind of support do students get if they’re struggling in class?
- What internships or hands-on experiences do students usually do?
- How easy it is to change majors if my interests shift?
- What do students do for fun on campus and in the community?
- How do you help students get ready for jobs or graduate school?
- How big are most classes?
We want your visit to be comfortable and welcoming.
