Visit Campus
Ready to get a complete sense of what it's like to be a Northeastern student?
There are many visit options, from tours and information sessions to visiting us at your high school. Our goal is to offer an opportunity for prospective students to observe campus life firsthand, talk with staff and students and get all the important questions answered. Visit options include:
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.
Save the Date!
Fall Open House Programs for prospective students:
Saturday, October 11
Saturday, October 25
Saturday, November 8
Find out more on our Open House page.
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.
Campus Tours
Tours, led by Husky Ambassadors, offer a unique perspective on the Northeastern experience. Experience our urban campus through the eyes of a student. See our academic buildings, residence halls and recreation areas. We suggest comfortable walking shoes and allowing one hour for the tour.
- On weekdays, tours are conducted from 9:00am to 3:00pm on the hour.
- On Saturdays, tours are conducted from 9:00am to 11:00am on the hour.
- Be sure to check our holiday hours.
Information sessions
These are held on campus and provide an overview of the University’s academic and experiential learning programs, as well as admissions and financial-aid process. Staff is available for questions. We suggest coupling an information session with a campus tour to maximize your time on campus. There are also special academic information sessions offered throughout the year.
Class Visit Program
Admitted students have the opportunity during the spring semester to choose from a variety of academic courses to visit with a current student. Newly admitted students are notified of this program with specific dates.
