Visiting Bentley
Campus visits are one of the best ways to explore the colleges you are considering. Every year, several thousand prospective families visit Bentley. Opportunities to visit include interviews, information sessions, tours and open houses.
The Office of Undergraduate Admission is open Monday through Friday during the academic year. In the summer, the office is closed on Fridays. January through March, visits are typically not offered while the Admission Committee is in session. Reservations are highly recommended as space for some offerings may be limited. Call the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 781.891.2244 or visit www.bentley.edu/undergraduate/visiting.cfm to review visiting opportunities and arrange a visit.
Interviews
An admission interview, although not required, is highly recommended by the Office of Undergraduate Admission for students applying to Bentley. It is one of the best ways for students to learn more about Bentley on an individual basis. It also allows for admission officers to learn more about students’ interests and goals. Information shared in the interview is taken into consideration by the Admission Committee.
Tours
A walking tour with a Bentley student will take visitors around campus, into academic buildings and the heart of student life. Highlights include visits to some of Bentley’s high-tech facilities, including the world-class financial Trading Room, the Student Center and a traditional dormitory-style residence hall.
Information Sessions
Information sessions are conducted by admission counselors who present an overview of Bentley. Topics include academics, student life, the admission process and financial aid. A guided tour of campus and the opportunity to meet current Bentley students is also on the agenda.
Open House
Attending Open House provides the opportunity to meet many members of the campus community during a special day-long program of tours, individual exploration, presentations and discussion forums. The agenda includes talks with professors about various academic majors, chats with students about how to join a club or organization, consultation with staff members about internship possibilities and career options, and more. Open houses are held once in the fall for all prospective students and once in the spring for accepted students.
