[civsa] Visits or events for only showing dorms?

[Roof, Christopher]

Hi Ebony and Erika,

We were often hearing about people wanting to see more Residence Hall options while on campus and I began offering daily Residence Hall Tours for the 2012-13. It is offered once a day at 12:15pm to cater to both morning visitors and afternoon visitors.

We still show a room on our Campus Tour, and began by showing an additional 4 halls. We have since cut it back to 3 halls, but they see our newest coed traditional-style hall, an older coed traditional-style hall, and a coed suite-style hall. The Campus Tour room is a single-sex traditional style hall.

People seem to enjoy seeing more options and hearing even more about Residence Life on campus, but we do find that some people that are signed up for it after the morning tour just don't come back for it after seeing a room already on the campus tour.

We have keys and access to all of the rooms that we show, so we do not have to have the students present for each tour to come through.

Subject: [civsa] Visits or events for only showing dorms?

Greetings all from a balmy 17 degrees day in Columbus, Ohio!

Do any of your departments or institutions offer visit days or events that are geared only towards seeing your dorms or residence halls? We have seen an increase in prospective students wanting to visit to JUST see a hall or multiple halls. We currently do show a room on our daily visit campus tours. For security purposes, we do not let visitors enter our halls unless they are guided with us on a tour.

We want to investigate if creating an opportunity to see multiple halls on a "Residence Halls Only" style of day would be worth the effort.

If any of you lovely CIVSA members have event setups similar to what I have described, can you share/reply?

Thanks!
Ebony
