Thank you for your interest in scheduling a group visit to McDaniel College! If your campus visit is approved and scheduled, we ask that you contact Admissions at least 5 business days prior to your visit to confirm your visit date, time and provide us a list of registered student visitors and number of chaperones you expect to be in your group. Here is what you can expect with a group visit: An Information Session: A member of the Admissions Staff will discuss college fit, McDaniel College, and the application process. We encourage your students to bring relevant questions to learn more about our unique academic program, campus life, and opportunities available to our students. (The information session will run approximately 30 - 45 minutes). A Campus Tour: Our student guides will lead your group around campus to see residence halls, academic buildings and share their experiences. Please ensure your students wear weather appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes. (The tour will last approximately 1 hour.) Optional Lunch in Englar Dining Hall is available for groups that request it and the cost is $9.75 per person. | |
When can I schedule my group? You and your students can eat lunch in the Dining Hall for $9.75 per person. If you plan to eat in the Dining Hall, we will need to know your estimated number of visitors at the time of your reservation and your final count one week prior to your visit. We will provide you with an invoice following your visit. You can mail a check post-visit, bring a check/cash with you the day of your visit, or pay with a credit card (we do not accept American Express). If you would prefer to eat off campus we can direct you to local restaurants. We are also happy to arrange on campus place for you to eat your own bagged lunches. | Directions to campus, for your bus driver. Follow Rt. 140 West to Rt. 31. Turn left at the first light onto West Main Street. Continue on West Main Street approximately 2/10 of a mile past our tennis courts, which will be on your left. Just AFTER you pass the tennis courts, look for the crosswalk and turn right into the Harrison Visitor Parking Lot (the entrance is on the right just before a GREEN house -- the yellow V symbol on our campus map ). All buses should plan to park in Harrison Lot unless directed otherwise, where your students can load and unload. An Admissions staff member will be outside to greet you. Please plan appropriate time to get to campus and contact our office in the event that you will be arriving later than expected. |
