Hello everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Loyola Marymount University has been offering one Saturday tour along with an admission presentation for a few years. They’re the same as our regular weekday campus tours - some buildings might be closed but that’s about it. Obviously other offices are
closed so most families do understand that it wouldn’t be possible for them to speak to a Dean or a faculty member on a Saturday afternoon and that classes wouldn’t be in session. If any family ever does want to speak to someone we do our best to try find
a student who has experience with that department or we’ll provide them with a name to contact on Monday.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> We currently only offer Saturday tours during the academic year and have found them to be highly successful in ensuring that a lot of our out of Los Angeles families have the chance to see campus and to chat with an Admission rep. We do make exceptions
outside of our regular tour times throughout the year only if the family is flying in from out of state or from Northern California - provided we have 24-48 hour advance notice.<br>
<br>
Thank you!</div>
<div><br>

schools offered options on Saturdays, especially smaller schools. No administrative offices are open Saturdays and we haven’t had any complaints—guests expect it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We host Saturday visit throughout the year excluding breaks and holiday weekends. We tried to table these but the data shows they have high attendance as well as high application and yield rates. We too face the same criticisms at times
about offices not being open but the majority of visitors realize that it is a weekend and those opportunities probably won't be available. It's best to try to set them up for that expectation through your communication, which we all know is selectively read.
We have a large audience, plenty of tour guide help, but usually one staff member to present and answer questions. It still ends up working out.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Despite some negative feedback along these lines (or about the campus not being too active) we still have a steady stream of data telling us that these visits are valuable, and necessary for a ton of families with kids who are heavily involved
and/or taking rigorous, AP filled course loads and are afraid to miss one day of school.<o:p></o:p></p>
