 Campus
visits include both a student-guided tour and an information
session with an Admissions Counselor. Tours are led by
Winthrop
Ambassadors (student volunteers) and typically show
a
residence
hall room in addition to the
cafeteria,
West
Health, Physical Education, and Wellness Center, and other
campus
buildings. The tours are given regardless of rain or shine
and last around an hour and a half, so be sure to wear
proper attire, including comfortable walking shoes. Climate
and current weather conditions are also available on the
Visitors' Center web pages.
Campus visits originate in
Joynes
Hall, which serves as the Visitors Center and the
Office of Admissions. Visitor parking is available
on site. Visitors Center hours are 8:30 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday. Self-guided campus walking tour guide
booklets, as well as maps and admissions information,
are available outside of Joynes Hall for after-hours
visitors. Arrangements for a group visit (6 or more
students) should be made by calling the
Office
of Admissions.
When visiting
Winthrop, we hope that you will spend some time getting to
know our campus, students, and staff. We encourage you
to bring a camera to document your visit and to come
prepared with plenty of questions. Both our Admissions
staff and our Ambassadors would be happy to answer your
questions and provide you with any information that you
need. If you are wondering what questions to ask
during a campus visit, here are some suggestions.
- Are
professors readily available outside of the classroom?
- Would I
often work with other students on projects inside or
outside of the classroom?
- What types
of services are available for students on campus?
Health and Counseling? Tutoring? Career
services?
- What types
of opportunities are available for learning outside of
the classroom? Study abroad? Internships?
Learning communities?
- What are
the most popular extracurricular activities?
- Are jobs
available on campus?
- How many
students live on campus? Are students required to
live on campus?
- Can I have
a car on campus? What is the cost?
- What types
of dining locations are available on campus?
- Also, ask
your ambassador about his/her major, activities, and
experiences here at Winthrop!
For local
accommodations
and attractions,
driving
distances and
directions,
and other information on the area, check out the
Visitors'
Center. If you are spending the evening in Rock Hill,
inquire about the Winthrop rate which is made available to
our visitors by many area hotels. If time allows, be sure
to check out a Winthrop
athletic
event,
musical performances
and theatre productions, or one of the many events sponsored
by
Dinkins
Student Union programming board.
If you are missing school to visit Winthrop, we will be
happy to provide a school excuse for students who
participate in the full campus visit experience, including a
scheduled tour.
