Open Houses Give Glimpse of Undergraduate Life on A.P. White Campus

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Nothing beats a visit to a college campus. Prospective Lindsey Wilson College students and their families will have five opportunities to find out why at one of the college's Open Houses during the 2009-10 school year.

Lindsey Wilson will host an Open House on: Oct. 3, Nov. 14, Jan. 30, March 27 and April 24.

Open House gives prospective students and their families a glimpse of undergraduate life at Lindsey Wilson's A.P. White Campus.

The March 27 Open House will be a talent showcase, and April 24 Open House will have a junior-senior focus.

Each Open House is held from 9 a.m.-noon CT. The day begins in the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center.

"Open Houses give prospective students an excellent opportunity to learn what a college is all about," said Lindsey Wilson Director of Admissions Charity Ferguson. "Because classes are not held on Saturday, Open House is a very relaxed and casual day. Everyone's focus is on prospective students and their family members. At an Open House, prospective students tour our campus, meet with our faculty and staff, learn about our student-life programs - or anything else that interests them."

An Open House will also help prospective students and their family members discover how they can afford a college education as members of the Lindsey Wilson staff will explain the college's financial-aid programs.

"Most people are surprised to learn how affordable a Lindsey Wilson education is," Ferguson said. "Lindsey Wilson has a very aggressive financial aid program that makes a college education very affordable."

Students who attend an Open House can also meet with the college's athletic coaches and advisers to student organizations.

"In addition to meeting with our professors, we also want prospective students to learn about our extracurricular and co-curricular organizations because it's important to be involved with a sports team, club or student organization when you are in college," Ferguson said.

Ferguson added that it's never too early to begin the college-search process.

"In addition to high school seniors, high school juniors and sophomores should also consider attending an Open House," Ferguson said. "Starting your college-search process early makes the senior year of high school a little less stressful for both students and their families."

 Lindsey Wilson Open House days are open to high school students and their families. A complimentary lunch will be served in the college's award-winning Cranmer Dining & Conference Center.
