Many professors are eager to open their classes to high school seniors, transfer candidates, and Davis candidates. Class visits are held most weekdays in both the fall and spring semesters. In the fall, class visits are offered to Seniors and in the Spring, class visits are offered to both Seniors and Juniors. 

📆 An appointment is required and must be made at least one full business day before your visit. Classes at Wellesley are very small and typically there is space for 1 or 2 visitors per class, so reserve your seat early. 

Most classes last 70 minutes, so plan for 90 minutes total (10 minutes extra on either end).

•  📚 A class visit ticket is required. After registering online, you must pick up your class visit ticket 🎟 from our office at least 30 minutes before your class begins.

We invite prospective applicants to have lunch with a Wellesley student in a residence hall dining room. It’s a fun and effective way to learn more about Wellesley from someone immersed in the community. And lunch is on us! 

Lunch visits are offered most weekdays, except during break and exam periods.

• Spaces fill quickly, so register early 📆. The earlier you register, the more likely it is we can pair you with a student who shares your interests.
• Fall lunch visits 🍽 are open to high school seniors as well as transfer and Davis Degree Program candidates who are within one year of applying.
• Spring lunch visits 🍽 are open to high school juniors and seniors as well as transfer and Davis Degree Program candidates who are within one year of applying.
• Please note the lunch visit is for visiting students only.

To really experience Wellesley’s residential life, we invite high school seniors to spend a night in a residence hall. A Wellesley student volunteer will be your host, and the Office of Admission will cover the cost of your dinner and breakfast.

The earlier you register, the more likely it is we can find a host who shares your interests.

• Overnight 🌜visits are available in October, November, early December, and April, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
• To stay overnight in the fall: You must be a high school senior, or a transfer or Davis Degree Program candidate within one year of applying. We ask for as much advance notice as possible—at a minimum, seven business days.
• To stay overnight in April: You must be an accepted first-year student, or a “likely” Early Evaluation candidate. You must book your overnight visit at least seven full business days in advance (although more notice is always appreciated); space is limited, so reserve as early as possible! Registration for April overnight visits will be available after you receive your admission decision.

Can I request a group 👥 visit?

We host groups of 10 or more prospective applicants and/or underserved populations of students seeking an introduction to the college search and application process. Please note, we will only grant Special Group Visit requests from officials from High Schools or non-profit community based organizations. We do not accommodate private tour agencies.

What is included?

We offer two options for our group visitors: an information session and a campus tour.

• Information Session: Topics include the first-year experience, classroom dynamics, research opportunities, internships, study abroad, the benefits of attending a women's college, and the admission and financial aid process.
• Campus Tour: Focuses on the academic and social experience of the current Wellesley student. If someone in the group needs an ASL interpreter, please let us know when you book your visit and we will provide one.

When can my group visit?

Groups may visit on most weekdays when our students are not on break or in exam period.
