Explore In Person

Whether you join us for one of our Admitted Student Days or an Individual Daily Visit (or both!), whether it’s your first visit or your second (or third, or fourth…), there’s so much we’d love to share with you!

Admitted Student Days

When we literally roll out the red carpet!

Attend an assortment of panels, where you’ll hear from current students, faculty members, and a variety of campus partners, all of whom are excited to share what makes St. Olaf special. Get out on tour, meet with Financial Aid, chat with an Admissions Officer, sit in on a class… There are so many ways for you to learn more about your future as an Ole!

Individual Daily Visits

A more personalized look at campus.

If you can’t make it to one of our Admitted Student Days, our daily visits are another great way to see yourself as an Ole!

Start off with an information session, then head out on tour with a current Ole. As with Admitted Student Days, a meeting with Financial Aid, a conversation with an Admissions Officer, and a class visit are among your additional itinerary options!

Programming specially designed for admitted students now available!
