The best way to experience Marquette is through a shadow visit, which allows you to experience academic and social life while you shadow (get it?) a Marquette freshman or sophomore.

While on your visit, you'll attend classes, eat real (and tasty) college food and, if you opt for an overnight, stay in your shadow host's residence hall room.

While you're here, you can also meet with an admissions counselor to discuss your college plans. Shadow visits are available to high school seniors.

• Shadow visits require at least three weeks of advance notice. Unfortunately there are no exceptions.

• Overnight shadow visits can be scheduled Sunday through Thursday only.

• Day shadow visits (classes only) can be scheduled Monday through Friday.

To arrange a visit, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (414) 288-7302 or (800) 222-6544.
