April Showers Mean....April Visits

The large crowds of people all following one person walking backwards can only mean one thing for GW: it’s April Visit time. On five dates in April, accepted students are given the chance to visit the campus before their May 1^st enrollment deadline. On the 7^th, 14^th, 18^th, 21^st and 23^rd watch out for future freshman and lots of parents. The days include tours of facilities and residential halls, as well as a Colonial Celebration where students and parents are invited to eat ice cream with current GW students.

While official statistics for the enrolled class of 2012 will not be available until after the May 1^st deadline, according to GW tour guide, or STAR, Kelly Nallen, the incoming freshmen class will be a great addition to the GW community.

“The incoming class seems great, they’re asking really good questions and seem very enthusiastic about coming to school here.” Nallen said.

Students must submit their Intent to Enroll, Housing application and $800 deposit by May 1^st to secure their spot at GW.

Students for the freshman class have already found a way to connect. The GW Class of 2012 Facebook group already has nearly 1,400 and growing daily. Students are able to converse about everything from what student orgs to join to what’s the best housing on campus.
