Open Houses and Welcome Days
The best way to learn about Northeastern is to spend the day on campus! In the fall, we hold Open Houses for prospective students. There are three dates to choose from (typically posted by early September), and each program includes academic overviews, tours of campus and opportunities to hear from faculty, students and staff.
In the spring, students who are admitted to the University are invited to attend special Welcome Days for opportunities to learn more about their academic program and our community. Dates are announced upon decision release.
Discover the Northeastern difference by spending a morning or afternoon on our campus. An Explore Northeastern session includes a presentation by an admissions counselor and a Campus Tour. The presentation provides information about the University’s academic and experiential learning programs, as well as the admissions and financial aid process. Campus Tours are led by one of our Husky Ambassadors and include academic buildings, residence halls and recreation areas.
On weekdays, arrive at 9:00a.m., 10:00a.m., 1:00p.m., or 2:00p.m. for a 2-hour visit.
On Saturdays, arrive at 9:00a.m. or 10:00a.m. for a 2-hour visit.

There are also special academic information sessions offered throughout the year.
If you can only spend 1-hour on campus, we encourage you to take a Campus Tour and experience our urban campus through the eyes of a student. Tours are led by Husky Ambassadors and offer a unique perspective on the Northeastern experience. We suggest comfortable walking shoes and allowing one hour for the tour. On weekdays, tours are conducted from 9:00a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the hour. On Saturdays, tours are conducted from 9:00a.m. to 11:00a.m. on the hour.
