Indiana’s 29 private, non-profit colleges and universities—including Goshen College—are opening their doors to students, parents and any others interested in the college selection process during Indiana Private College Week, July 18-22, 2022.

During that week, Goshen College will offer campus tours each day at 9:45 a.m., 10:45 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. Visitors will also have a chance to set up a meeting with the  admissions office.

Individual and group campus visits are also available throughout the year. For more information visit goshen.edu/visit.

According to Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI), the organization hosting the week-long event, Indiana’s private colleges are the “smart choice” because:

• Availability of financial aid: More than 90 percent of students at Indiana’s private colleges, and 99 percent at Goshen College, receive one or more types of financial aid (state, federal, institutional aid, and/or special scholarships), making a private college education affordable and often no more expensive (and sometimes even less so) than a state university.
• Personal attention: Class size at Indiana’s private colleges and universities averages 14 students to one professor, and graduates are more likely to report that they are “highly satisfied” with the quality of their education.
• Opportunities for leadership: With smaller and more personal learning environments, there are more opportunities for students to be involved in extracurricular activities of all sorts, further developing their leadership skills.
• Higher graduation rates: Students at Indiana’s private, non-profit campuses are twice as likely to graduate in four years as students at other types of institutions.

Visitors between the ages of 16 and 20 touring ICI campuses during Private College will have the chance to enter a drawing for a Microsoft Surface or Apple iPad Mini tablet. Entry forms and rules will be available at each campus.
