Campus Maps

 

Let’s look at an example of a college and a university, by exploring maps of the campus, the school’s land and buildings.

Of course, you will usually find a library, classrooms, offices, cafeteria, student housing, computer labs, sports fields, and other outdoor space. Sometimes there is also a church on a college campus.

If possible, it is very helpful to visit a college campus for a tour before you apply or accept admission, to be sure that it is a good choice for you.
