College visits

Often the first step a student can take to determine whether a college is the right fit is visiting its campus. While walking tours led by current students are common, many schools offer several other ways to explore and learn about campus, including through self-guided and virtual tours or open houses and overnight stays. Here's a look at eight different types of campus visits – which aren't always available at every school – that a student may encounter during their college search process.

  • Walking tours

Most colleges offer at least a guided walking tour led by current students. Prior to the tour – which takes prospective students and their families to various academic buildings, dining halls and dormitories across campus – there's usually a short information session to provide an overview of the school and its admissions process . These types of campus visits are typically offered on weekdays and most Saturdays, and may require advance registration because space is often limited.

  • Virtual tours

While college tours are free, students and their families often have to factor in travel expenses, including gas, airplane tickets and hotel stays. But through virtual tours – which became more popular as a result of the coronavirus pandemic – students can still get a feel for a campus without leaving their bedroom. Virtual tours can be interactive, allowing students to "walk" around campus by clicking arrows, or are videos led by students or faculty members on bikes, skateboards, golf carts or other modes of transportation.

  • Self-guided tours

For students looking to explore a campus at their own pace, many colleges offer self-guided walking or drive-through tours. While some schools post information booklets on their website, providing insight into each building, others offer audio tours that can be downloaded through an app so students can follow along at their leisure. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign , for instance, even offers an accompanying song playlist to listen to on the drive around campus.

  • Golf cart tours

A walking tour is not always the only formal option to see a college campus. High Point University in North Carolina, for instance, has a personalized tour option, where a student ambassador drives families around the campus in a golf cart. Students also receive information about the school's college transition programs, including the Freshman Success Coach Program and the Project Discovery Program, which provides guidance on how to choose a major . Like other tours, prospective students must sign up ahead of time.

  • Foreign language tours

For students with family members who aren't as comfortable speaking in English, there may be options to take a tour in another language. Some schools, like Old Dominion University in Virginia, have Spanish-language campus tours led by Spanish-speaking students and admissions counselors. These tours are often hosted on certain days of the month. Other colleges may require students to make a request in advance. The University of California, Berkeley , for instance, offers Spanish and Mandarin language tours with a two-week notice.

  • Overnight visits

Some colleges offer an overnight option for prospective students looking to have a more immersive campus life experience. At Reed College in Oregon, for instance, current high school seniors – alongside a host student – can stay overnight in one of the residence halls and eat in a dining hall. Overnights are usually offered only during the week.

  • Group tours

Many students choose to visit a college with their parents or siblings. However, some high schools , community colleges or nonprofits organize group visits to nearby campuses. These visits typically include a short information session and student-led walking tour – during which prospective students are encouraged to ask questions – as well as possibly a meal at an on-campus dining hall.

a&m college station campus visit

  • Open houses

While walking tours allow students to see different academic buildings, dorms and dining halls, open houses provide opportunities to ask specific questions and dive deeper into a school's campus life and undergraduate education. Although the structure of open houses varies by college, visiting students often meet with current students, faculty members and staff to learn about available majors and minors, campus activities, the application process and financial aid , among other things. Advance registration is required, as schools may host these daylong events only once a semester.

How Tiny Crystals Are Giving Solar Panels A Glow-Up

Solar panels under the sun

As the global conversation around renewable energy continues to heat up, Juan Guio ‘26 is looking at ways to keep things cool, at least where solar panels are concerned.

Guio spent the spring 2023 semester working on research pertaining to efficiency in photovoltaics as a member of Dr. Matthew Sheldon’s laboratory in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University. While Guio’s part of the project was small — measuring and mapping how different solutions impacted the absorbance of certain wavelengths of light — the work thrilled him.

“The way I see it, small things are what make up the big things, so that makes chemistry very exciting,” he said.

Juan Guio '26

The small things he was working with are a type of tiny crystals known as halide perovskite nanocrystals. “Think of them as little light boosters,” Sheldon said. Students worked on synthesizing these crystals and embedding them into thin, film-like structures to make them suitable for coating solar panels.

“Solar panels, which many of us see on rooftops or large solar farms, convert sunlight into electricity,” Sheldon explained. “One way to make these solar panels even more efficient is to use special coatings that can capture more light. In this research project, undergraduate students explored the development of coatings that can glow under light, essentially amplifying the amount of sunlight that reaches the solar panel.”

This work was very interesting to Guio, who was eager to try new solutions in the lab. “I got excited about figuring out what we could do next,” he said. “One of the properties of these nanocrystals is that when you shine a light at them at a certain energy, they emit light at a higher energy. They do that by taking in some heat.” Absorbing heat as well as light to create energy via a solar panel would be especially useful because it provides cooling as well as light, he explained.

Guio, who is originally from Bogota, Columbia, and currently resides in Houston, says he has long been attracted to chemical engineering because he loves working with chemical reactions. In addition to the science and hands-on lab work for the nanocrystals project, Guio and the other students in the Sheldon Research Group also had opportunities to analyze their results and share them through presentations, practicing the essential work of science communication.

Guio made up solutions of nanocrystals and solvents and then used a spectrophotometer to analyze how changes affected which wavelengths of light were absorbed. He also graphed results of different solutions to create an absorbance map. By the end of the semester, he was able to present the range of results to others in the lab working on different elements of nanocrystal research. He appreciated hearing about others’ research findings, as he built on their work to create a presentation that would provide value to the whole group.

Learning Through Research

While the work he was doing was minor in the larger field of photovoltaic research, Guio says it was a great introduction to the process of investigative lab work.

“I learned that research is not a linear process,” he reflected. “You work on ideas all over the place that open up room for creativity and lead you where you want to go next. You can take a risk and see ‘will this bear fruit and be helpful or not?’ and try other options.”

The experience cemented Guio’s desire to pursue a career in chemical engineering with an emphasis on energy.

“I’m fascinated by energy, in finding ways to improve the oil and gas industry, as well as renewable energy, maybe create something new that hasn’t been thought of yet,” he said.

A key takeaway from the experience for Guio was the importance of reaching out to faculty members to explore collaboration. Sheldon, one of Guio’s favorite teachers, had mentioned his research on photovoltaics in class, and Guio’s curiosity was piqued. He sent Sheldon an email asking if he could be involved in some way and was invited to participate in the lab work, though he was a freshman at the time.

“Don’t be afraid to reach out to a teacher if the topic is interesting to you,” he admonished other students. “Let them know that you’re interested and that you want to work with them, because they love working with motivated students.”

Texas A&M holds NFL Pro Day on campus Tuesday

Texas A&M held their annual Pro Day today as athletes get ready for the NFL Draft next month.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - Texas A&M held their annual Pro Day today as athletes get ready for the NFL Draft next month.

The players are getting ready for the 2024 NFL Draft but today’s Pro Day looked very similar to the 2020 Aggies. Kellen Mond was throwing passes to Ainias Smith and Mike Elko was watching Edgerrin Cooper who was a true freshman the last time Elko coached here.

“Obviously a great day for our program and a great day for these guys to put on a show for the scouts,” Texas A&M Head Coach Mike Elko said. “For me it’s obviously just a little bit unique taking over a new program, but (I) coached and recruited so many of these guys it’s great to see them get to this day and do their thing.”

All 32 NFL teams were on hand, and the work outs included the 40 yard dash, 20 yard shuttle and position drills.

For some this was their first time in front of scouts and for others they’re trying to get as many work outs in.

“Just get in front of more scouts and get in front of different eyes (I’m) obviously trying to continue my journey in the NFL,” Texas A&M quarterback and NFL free agent Kellen Mond said.

“I wanted my 40 to be good,” Texas A&M defensive back and 12th Man Sam Mathews said. “I wanted my jumps to be good. My DB work is something I’m taking very seriously with my trainer. I wanted to come out here and show that maybe I can do some of the things those guys can.”

Ainias Smith was able to show of his speed after missing part of the combine with a stress fracture in his left leg.

“It was fun and enjoyable to watch them compete and when I went out there the next day and did my thing on the bench, and I just put it all out there today,” Texas A&M Wide Receiver Ainias Smith said.

The A&M veterans had high praised for the next man leading the program.

“This is one of the best hires in A&M history especially being one of his players before.. not only with him on defense, but I would love to have him as a head coach,” Texas A&M defensive lineman McKinnley Jackson said.

“Coach Elko is definitely the guy that you want,” Smith said. “Number one he established disciple, and I feel like that was something we were lacking.

This year’s draft is in Detroit April 25-27.

Liberty students hear from Speaker Mike Johnson, other high-ranking leaders at Capitol symposium

Hundreds of Liberty University students traveled to the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., on Thursday for the school’s Future Leader Symposium, where they had the chance to hear various federal politicians speak on the current state of the nation and the importance of living out one’s faith and principles in government.

a&m college station campus visit

A total of 13 U.S. representatives and five U.S. senators attended the event, including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. The event was coordinated through the office of Senior Vice President for Business Engagement Dr. Dave Brat, who served as a U.S. congressman from 2014-18 representing Virginia’s 7th District.

Other featured speakers included Rep. Michael Cloud (Texas), Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), Sen. Mike Lee (Utah), Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Rep. Warren Davidson (Ohio), Rep. Thomas Massie (Ohio), Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Rep. Bill Posey (Fla.), Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Rep. Bob Goode (Va.), Rep. Tom Emmer (Minn.), Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), Rep. Gary Palmer (Ala.), Rep. Burgess Owens (Utah), and Rep. Ben Cline (Va.), along with other former senior government officials.

Speaker Johnson, who has served as an adjunct government professor at Liberty through the online program, noted that he believes America is currently in a time of great division and turmoil.

“It’s like (America) is in uncharted waters and choppy seas as a nation and the skies are dark in the horizon,” he said. “When you’re in a scenario like that, you really need to know where the fixed points in the horizon are or you’re going to lose your way and be rudderless and adrift way out into the deep ocean.”

Speaker Johnson added that the country can be saved if it embraces what he called the seven core values of American conservatism: individual freedom, limited government, rule of law, peace through strength, fiscal responsibility, free markets, and human dignity.

a&m college station campus visit

“The seven core principles of conservativism are all grounded in the Word of God and are eternal principles that do not change,” he said. “The reason America is the most exceptional, powerful, benevolent, and successful country in the history of the world is not by happenstance. It’s because we tied ourselves to those truths.”

Paul spoke to the students about the importance of religion in establishing order and emphasized that laws alone cannot keep America in check. He also addressed questions about how to return governing power to state legislatures and how to limit the far-reaching power of the federal government.

“Our founding fathers looked at this nation and said that a republic requires a virtuous nation,” he said. “That means there’s not enough police to police everyone. You see this chaos in our cities in different places with thugs breaking into stores and stealing stuff. That is a breakdown in order. There have to be laws, but there also has to be religion, faith, and knowledge of right and wrong. As you begin your careers, become the leaders in your community and show by example. If we do, we will have a better place for all of us.”

Cruz concluded the time of discussion by championing the role of Christians in politics, arguing that only through dutiful political engagement will Christians see the nation return to its biblical roots. He also addressed the current situation at America’s southern border and argued for students to embrace kindness as they pursue their own careers in government or elsewhere.

a&m college station campus visit

“If you leave the electing of the leaders of our country to nonbelievers, it shouldn’t shock us that people get elected who don’t share our values,” he said. “The Bible isn’t silent on the great issues of today, and the Bible also commands us to be salt and light. You can’t be salt unless you come into contact with that for which you are a preservative. You can’t be light if you’re hidden under a table. We have to be out in the world. I appreciate your commitment to standing for what you believe in, and I encourage you to do it as happy warriors.”

After the symposium, Brat led the students through a tour of the Capitol Building.

“Liberty University had a great day on Capitol Hill meeting with senior leaders of our country,” Brat said after the event. “The highlight of the day was the visit from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who captivated the students with his integration of faith, his humor and personality, and his commitment to conservative public policy that will serve our country well into the future. All of the representatives spoke highly of our students and all shared how Liberty University is so special and acknowledged the huge weight we carry as Christians as we go out into the world to spread the good news and be salt and light for everyone.”

Isaiah Varella, a sophomore studying politics and policy , said he appreciated how the university encourages students to get involved in the political sphere.

“I think it’s so vital for the next generation to be equipped,” he said, “and Liberty University is doing a great job of bringing in different trains of thoughts and different leaders who are so monumental, like the ability to hear from the speaker of the House who is fighting on behalf of everyday Americans. I love how I have been to D.C. eight or nine times since I’ve been a student at Liberty, and they are just constantly trying to sow into their next leaders who will possibly be running for office.”“Especially as Christian conservatives, it’s vital because you’re going out into these different debates and you’re going to run into people who don’t agree with you and will attack you, belittle you, and tear you down,” Varella added. “You have to know your identity is in Christ, so Liberty is constantly showing and equipping you with who you are as a child of God, first of all, and then also how to have a biblical worldview constantly incorporated.”

a&m college station campus visit

Sophomore Emma Dayton echoed his thoughts and the value of hearing from high-ranking U.S. politicians in person: “I honestly believe every university should be holding something like this. If we truly want to raise up the next generation of American leaders, we need to be training students who care about our country and about what’s going on in our government. Whether or not we disagree with them, we should at least hear their views.”

Dayton, who hopes to one day have a career in political commentary or political journalism, said the trip also allowed her to see firsthand what it would be like to serve in office.

Brat called the event a success and thanked the Standing for Freedom Center and LU staff Christy Murphy and Gian Castillo, as well as the Liberty Champion student newspaper, for the teamwork in capturing how special the event was for Liberty University.

Shooting confirmed at campus of Alabama A&M, one student injured

NORMAL, Ala. ( WAFF ) - Officials with Alabama A&M University confirmed there was a shooting Monday afternoon at Knight Complex West.

Alabama A&M Police Chief Montrez Payton told WAFF an officer was conducting a routine patrol of Knight Complex on the 5th floor when he heard shots fired below him. The officer responded and made contact with someone in the stairwell.

“Multiple shots were exchanged in that stairwell. An individual was hit multiple times. That individual was transported to Huntsville Hospital,” said Payton during a Monday afternoon press conference.

Officials say the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is and will be taking over the investigation. ALEA has since confirmed the individual who was injured was a student at the university.

H ours after the shooting, Alabama A&M University officials released the following statement:

03182024 AAMU Statement by Javon Williams on Scribd

Students are seen on the campus of Alabama A&M on Monday following a shooting at the school....

The shooting took place as students returned from spring break. One student says this was now how he envisioned his first day back.

“It surprised me. I was like we just got back from spring break and they already doing this. They shouldn’t be bringing this on campus. If they gone fight, then they should just fight, they shouldn’t bring guns into it because that’s when it gets serious,” the student said.

Chief Payton says as ALEA takes over the investigation, his department will respond with an increased police presence on campus.

“As you know we had a situation last August and so we had already been operating in that and so we will continue to build those efforts and increase patrol so that students know they are safe,” said Payton.

Yet, that’s doing little to assure students about their safety.

“I’m hoping for a better experience. I don’t want no violence around at the school that I go to where I get my education. That ain’t right, that ain’t right at all,” said one student.

ALEA officials say the investigation is still ongoing and once complete, findings will be turned over to the Madison County District Attorney’s Office.
