1. When are tours and information sessions offered?
Tours and information sessions are offered throughout the year. For more detailed information, please see the Visiting Columbia page.2. How do I arrange an overnight visit to campus?
If you are not staying on campus with a friend or alumnus/a of your high school (which is what we recommend), there are limited spaces available for prospective students to stay on campus. Overnight accommodations in the residence halls are provided Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Please be aware that overnight visits are available only to current high school seniors during the fall semester. To request an overnight visit, you must register on-line by clicking on the Visiting Columbia page.3. How can I find out if Columbia will be visiting my town?
You can determine if Columbia will be visiting a location near you by visiting the Events page.4. How do I arrange a meeting with a coach?
In order to meet with a coach, please visit the Columbia Athletics Web Site to secure the contact information for the coach of the sport you are interested in playing at Columbia.5. Do
