Why attend an Open House?

An Open House only lasts a few hours, but it can teach you everything you need to know about a potential college.

The college experience goes beyond the classes you take and the extracurriculars you pursue. You might want to know how long it takes to walk from your class to the library, or to the different academic buildings. You may want to learn about Student Activities, Career and Life Planning, and the advising resources available to students.

An Open House is your chance to ask any questions you might have and meet the people who will be on your side throughout your time in college. If you have an idea of what you want to study, you can talk to faculty from that program, including the dean of the school, to find out what to expect. If you’re undecided on a major, you can get a full overview of all the possibilities. As a college student, your education is in your hands, and an Open House is where that starts.

Tips from the experts 

After hosting and attending many Open Houses over the years, our Recruitment team members know how to make the experience as successful and valuable as possible for the students. Follow their advice to get the most out of your time at a Atlanta Technical College Open House.

Prepare a list of questions about the college 

When it comes to picking a college, what matters most to you? Do you care about class size, or the types of activities on campus? How involved in clubs and student groups do you want to be? Do you want to mostly stick to your major classes, or do you want to study a wide variety of subjects?

Think ahead of time about what you want to get out of your college experience and what your ideal school would offer. The Open House will have many faculty and staff members happy to answer your questions and help you figure out if ATC will meet your needs.

Arrive early 

Another way to avoid feeling overwhelmed is to give yourself plenty of time. Coming early allows you to not be rushed to visit the information tables and get to know the college. Arriving early at the Open House allows you to process being on campus and get your bearings, and lets you spend more time talking with faculty and staff and getting your questions answered.

Don’t feel like you must know everything already 

It’s OK to be undecided. Even if you don’t know exactly what you want to study, you know what you like and you don’t like about your current living and learning environment. Build off that and ask the college representatives questions about the academic and extracurricular things that are important to you.

You aren’t supposed to leave the Open House knowing everything there is to know about the college-you just need to learn enough to decide whether you can spend the next few years here. Once you’re a student, you will have plenty of time to finalize your major, your class load, your extracurriculars, and your plans for after graduation.

Don’t be shy 

To get the full Open House experience, you need to talk to people. There will be presentations from faculty and other campus departments, but how you spend the rest of your day is largely up to you. We recommend you speak with the advisors, club representatives, other students, and instructors and immersing yourself as much as you can in the campus. Take that list of questions you prepared and look for the answers. Only you know what you need your college experience to be, so don’t be afraid to get specific with the faculty, staff, and students at the event. They want to help you!

Wear the right clothes 

October weather in Georgia can be tricky, so prepare for both sunshine and the possibility of rain. You will have the opportunity to tour campus and the nearby facilities, so wear comfortable shoes.

The college selection process can be daunting, but attending Open Houses will make your choice a little easier. Plus, you’ll get to spend a fun day on a beautiful campus!
