| | | Any point in visiting colleges? ....
Is there any point in visiting colleges between semesters, when there aren't any classes going? In January 2010 I may visit Master's college and July 2010 may visit SBTS, but neither of those options would be during school time. Other than just seeing how purdy the places are, would that be a general waste of time?
Thank you

The degree completion programs run all year long, with classes being offered 3-4 nights a week. The MA in Biblical Counseling also has classes during this time. And of course, there might be some winter courses in session for the traditional students.
Though it won't be a bustling campus at that time, you will still be able to see what some of it is like.
Why would you want/need to visit during those times?

I would be visiting Master's at that time because I may already be in the LA area. And since I will be flying to that area in order to be there, I figured I would make the most out of it since I am considering that college.

It is a fairly nice campus, small enough to walk through in an hour or so--depending on what you are looking at.

I know WSC recommends all serious applicants to visit the seminary to be familiar with it's structure and how things run. I think this is why they have their seminary for a day. Any WSC student or faculty can clarify my statements if I am incorrect.
