Tips to Prepare for the Day
- Attire: Throughout the day you will be walking around campus. Because we are a large university, we encourage you to wear comfortable walking shoes. Dress casual, and because weather in Boulder can change quickly, we suggest bringing extra layers and sunscreen.
- Bring a water bottle and stay hydrated.
- Look at the schedule ahead of time to build out your options! We suggest that you “divide and conquer” - choose the sessions that are most interesting to you and send other members of your party to gather information from other sessions. We will email you a complete schedule two days before Admitted Student Day, so that you can start building your experience!
- Follow us on social media @FutureBuffs.
- Explore your dining options and make a plan for the day! Pro-tip: try to choose a dining center other than the Center for Community (C4C). The C4C can get very congested and there are so many options on campus to explore!
