Let's Get RealCollege is about more than studying and choosing a major. It's the whole experience – beginning with the day you arrive.  Whether you have a specific major you’d like to check out or you're completely undecided, attend one of our VISIT DAYS to get a feel for what it's really like to be a Duhawk!!

Visit Days allow you  the opportunity to meet Faculty, staff and students who will talk with you about academic majors and life at Loras College; Presentations on Financial Aid, Scholarships and the Admission Process; Campus tours; Complimentary lunch; and even stay for a sporting event if you would like!  If the above dates do not work for you, schedule an individual campus visit. 

During an individual visit, you will have the opportunity to meet with an Admissions Counselor and receive a tour of campus.  Also during individual visits, meetings with coaches, faculty and other persons are dependent upon availability. 

  • Saturday visits can be scheduled from 9:00am – 11:00am.  The two appointments we can guarantee for a Saturday is to meet with an Admissions Counselor and a tour of the campus.  If you would like to meet with a faculty member or a coach, we will make every effort to set up an appointment.
  • We are closed on Sundays for campus visits.

You can Experience Loras College first-hand by touring campus and visiting with the Admissions staff. Grab a bite to eat in the Duhawk Market, cafeteria or pub and even stay overnight in a residence hall during certain times of the year. Also, if you’re planning to be involved in sports or clubs and organizations, we can shape your visit so you will be able to meet a coach or an advisor.  Check us out - experience our beautiful campus and look at what we have to offer you.
