Wheaton College Hosts Admitted Students Overnight Program, Offering a Closer Look at Campus Life
Wheaton College, a private liberal arts institution in Norton, Massachusetts, is set to hold its annual Admitted Students Overnight Program, providing prospective students with a comprehensive glimpse into campus life. This immersive experience, designed for admitted students and their families, offers a unique opportunity to interact with faculty, meet peers, and explore the vibrant community at Wheaton.
The program begins with registration at 5:30 p.m., where families can check in before the students embark on their evening activities. This initial gathering serves as a valuable time for families to review the day’s agenda and address any final questions with the Office of Admission. Participants will find parking available in designated lots, ensuring that logistics are hassle-free.
Following registration, guests will be treated to a dinner from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Chase Dining Hall. This dinner allows admitted students to mingle with hosts and fellow attendees, fostering connections that could last throughout their college career. Concurrently, parents and families are invited to a reception that encourages dialogue among Wheaton community members, enhancing familial understanding of the college experience.
As the evening progresses, the next event is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. in Emerson Hall, where participants can engage in in-depth discussions with current students, affectionately referred to as “Wheaties.” This experience aims to demystify college life and promote a sense of belonging among the incoming class of 2029.
A highlight of the evening is the “Dimple Divers Show,” an entertaining magic and improv comedy performance at 8:30 p.m. held in the Discovery Center’s Hindle Auditorium. This event not only provides amusement but also reinforces the college’s commitment to fostering a creative and humorous campus culture.
The night’s festivities conclude with “Late Night Fun and Snacks” from 9:30 to 11:30 p.m. at the Balfour-Hood Campus Center. This social networking event includes activities intended to foster connections among future classmates, ensuring that students leave with new friendships and memories.
Wheaton College prioritizes safety and connectivity, providing guests with access to guest Wi-Fi throughout the campus. Important contact numbers for public safety and admissions are available to ensure that all visitors feel secure and informed during their stay.
For those interested in the day’s schedule activities, Wheaton provides a detailed agenda that allows participants to plan accordingly. This overnight program not only acts as a valuable resource for admitted students but also reflects Wheaton’s dedication to creating a welcoming, inclusive community for all its members.
