In-Person Visit Options
The best way to know if a school is for you is simply by being there. Visit and find out for yourself what it's like to be an Illini.
Tips for Scheduling Your Visit
- If you're interested in attending multiple programs when visiting campus, you need to sign up for each one separately. Note that campus visits are offered consistently, while academic meetings vary in availability.
- Although we consider a lot of factors when making an admission decision, visiting campus isn't one of them. (Trust us, though, you'll be glad if you do!)
