Having separate panels allows both the parents and the students to address issues that they are especially interested in. The parents' questions tend to relate to cost, housing, student-professor interaction and substance abuse. The students' concerns tend to focus on housing, how much studying is necessary and what students do on the weekends. An administrator sits in on each of the student panels to ensure that a balanced view is presented about life at CU-Boulder. Various information sessions are held during the programs.
Students can meet with representatives from housing, financial aid and other student services.
Students may also attend special interest sessions that include information about admissions, ROTC programs, honors programs, computer resources and the Norlin Scholars program. Individual colleges also provide sessions. On-campus housing is one of the areas that visitors are eager to see and the Housing Department is an active participant in the events. Students and their parents are given the opportunity to eat lunch in a residence hall and tour a residential room. We certainly want to continue this spirit of cooperation and encourage everyone to be courteous to our campus visitors when they run into them on campus.
