参加录取学生日的5个理由 3月21-22日！
Various preview events throughout the year are used as a time for prospective students to experience life on the mountain and get to know Covenant’s campus and community. 但录取学生日并不一定是预演活动。 This event is a unique and exclusive opportunity for students who have been accepted to Covenant to feel celebrated and begin to truly imagine their lives as Scots. Although you may still be on the fence about your final decision, this is a time to step into the Covenant community and really feel like a future part of that community.
Here are five reasons you should make sure to attend 被录取的学生 Day—even if you’ve already visited campus.
1. 熟悉校园内外
Whether you’ve visited or not, 被录取的学生 Day is a great chance to get to know campus and find your way around. 您还可以探索查塔努加市中心！ If it is your first time, grab a buddy who has already been on campus or a current student and ask them lots of questions about where students hang out, their favorite courses, or the best time to avoid the lunch rush in the Great Hall. This time is for you, so if you want to see inside a specific building—just ask someone from admissions!
“被录取的学生 Day confirmed all that I had already fallen in love with about Covenant! It helped me solidify my college decision and allowed me to become even more familiar with campus before I started classes.”

2. 在宿舍过夜
Even if you’ve already stayed a night during sneakPEAK or Scholarship Weekend, now that it’s time to make a decision, it might help to picture yourself living on campus or even to figure out which residence hall you like best. Although you don’t necessarily get to decide which residence hall you stay in, each one is different and has unique traits and perks! Staying in the dorm as an admitted student is a time where you can begin to imagine your new home away from home.
“Staying the night during 被录取的学生 Day confirmed that this was the place that the Lord wanted me to be. I felt so included, loved, prayed for, and encouraged by the girls I stayed with!”

3. 了解教职员工
Although it is just one night, it is nice to get a headstart on recognizing certain friendly faces that you’ll see a lot as a student. Those who work in student development, residence life, the chapel department, and academic areas will be a big part of your life as a student, so getting to talk to them beforehand may help calm some nerves. Covenant faculty and staff do a great job at knowing students by name and getting to know them on a personal level, so if you end up attending Covenant, don’t be surprised if someone you recognize actually recognizes you back!

4. 体验基督徒团体之美
的 chapel building on the outside is awe-inspiring in and of itself, but what takes place inside is on a whole different level of beauty. Participating in chapel throughout the week is a cherished part of the Covenant experience that builds deep, Christian community on campus. From the talented student-led worship and sincere, honest talks to hall traditions of piling shoes on the stage, something about chapel typically sticks with guests long after Chaplain Lowe says, “Go in peace.”
“我一直对威尼斯人平台持观望态度，直到（在录取学生日）那天我去参观。 While standing in the chapel singing alongside hundreds of other students sold out for Jesus, I knew this was the place for me.”

5. 开始建立友谊，发现学生社团
For every unknown in life, we need people who will surround, support us, and share our interests. Events during 被录取的学生 Day are planned specifically for you to get to know your future peers and begin to find your people! On Friday afternoon, you’ll have the choice of several different activities that highlight our student-led clubs and organizations. Although we can’t make any promises, getting to know the general Covenant community will help you begin to meet people and form relationships that may turn into lasting friendships. 谁知道呢，你甚至可能找到你未来的室友！
“录取学生日确实坚定了我来圣威尼斯人平台的决定。 I enjoyed interacting with the people I met and one of them is now one of my closest friends!”

Unlike sneakPEAK, 被录取的学生 Day is by invitation only, so not just anyone interested in Covenant can attend. However, if you want to schedule a visit or attend our spring preview event, go to covenant.edu/visit. If you are an admitted student and haven’t received an invitation from us, feel free to reach out to your admissions counselor.
