10 things to do while visiting Dordt with your student
- After you tour campus, relax together at RJ’s Indoor Golf with a round of putting or try different a soccer or football challenge in the simulator bays.

- Browse the shops at Centre Mall and around town, including ViBella, a Fair Trade store with a mission supporting artisans in Haiti.
