Admissions

A campus visit is a must! This is the only way to fully understand why everyone says the professors and staff are so friendly. The university doesn't put on a show during their open houses either. Everyone acts as if it was just any other day. Whether you attend Road Trip, Scholarship Day, an open house, or schedule a private visit get to the campus and experience it for yourself.

Go for a campus visit--during the school year. You need to be on the campus to truly get a feel for what life is like there. And don't be afraid to contact the admissions office if you have questions, either. They're always really helpful and really friendly.

Go potluck to find your roommate your freshman year: they are great at pairing up people who you will get along with well and have similar interests as you.

Stay in a dorm. They are not terrible and it is a good experience. .

Check out Greek life. It may not be for you but it is still a good option to have to be able to get involved and meet people.

Go to sporting events and support your Purple Aces.

GO TO HARLAXTON! JUST DO IT! I promise you will have the time of your life. I have not talked to one person who said they did not enjoy Harlaxton. It was incredible and you should go to Harlaxton no matter what major you decide.

Do not overlook this university solely because of finances. They give phenomenal scholarships and are extremely helpful. Also, be sure to take the time to get to know all the diverse students around you on campus. Much can be learned from a simple conversation with an international student and lasting bonds can be formed. As a prospective student, I encourage you to physically come to campus and take a tour and even spend the night with a current student (this can be set up by the admissions office). This will help you to get the true feel of campus and ensure you are well informed before making your decision.

If there is a class that you might have a bit of trouble in, don't be afraid to talk to the professor. They are always willing to help, and if you would rather ask a student in your class, they are always happy to help. Your advisor is always there for you too, and can help you with almost anything.

Do a campus visit. It was only after my campus visit and talking to professors that I knew UE was the place for me.

If you want to fully understand what the Evansville campus is like, you have to visit!! My tip is to try and visit more than once and at least once while school is in session. I found the campus staff and students to be consistently welcoming and helpful and that consistency played a major part in why I chose the university. Also, it gives you a chance to talk to different people and hear an array of advice and perspectives about the university.

If you can, attend road trip. It is a great way to get to know the school and some of your future classmates. It gives the opportunity to visit mock classes and go to fun events around campus too. While they school is amazing, it is a private school and therefore is costly. You will have to keep up work on scholarships if you're someone like me and affording college is a concern. The cost is definitely worth it though. The school is welcoming and creates a small close-knit community.

Get involved (Student Christian Fellowship, Intramurals, Greek Life, etc.)! Watch the plays produced by UE Theatre! And whatever you do, you MUST go to Harlaxton.
