We are excited to host our community-based organization partners and students for a pre-Open House overnight on Saturday, October 4, 2025. We look forward to having you join us on the Bentley campus for dinner and conversation before students head to the residence halls with their Bentley student hosts, and CBO staff are transported to their hotel and dinner. Everyone will reconnect on Sunday, October 5 for our annual Open House for the full Bentley experience! Please note that this overnight is not open to all prospective students and is invite-only.
