Creighton Visit (364)

Out of town tournaments are very convenient for scheduling college visits. They are perfect for visits specific to volleyball too, since you are in traveling for volleyball in the first place. You can go to a college in the town you are traveling to for the tournament, or you can go to one on the way to the tournament. Although you will have to miss even more school for visits, it is still a good experience to see different campuses and can help you with your college decision. This weekend I visited Creighton on the way to the Nebraska Elite Invite in Omaha. The college was right next to Omaha and wasn't out of the way at all. I didn't go to school at all on Friday because we left at 7 am. I would've left at about lunch time or after school if I wasn't going to a visit. We got to the college at about noon and had lunch before we went to the visit. It was supposed to start at 1:15 but we got there a little early. First, I had a meeting with the admissions office where we talked about almost everything there is to talk about the college. Anything from class size to sports to applications. We talked for a long time and I didn't have many questions since this was one of the first visits I've had with an admissions office. After the meeting, we had a little time to look around the bookstore before the campus tour. The tours were led by one of the students, which was nice because they can tell you a more honest and true opinion about the campus life and classes. The campus tour was very good; the campus is nice and it seemed like averyone there was very friendly and there was a good sense of community there. I think that it would be a good choice for me if I were to chose either not to play volleyball in college or just to play club volleyball in college, which I don't think will happen but I think it is good to keep and open mind so I have many options.
