Visiting a college campus is one of the most important steps in the college search process! It gives you the chance to look beyond viewbooks and Web sites, to see things first-hand, to talk with students and faculty - to envision yourself as a college student.

We strongly encourage prospective students and their families to visit the Lesley campus. Visits are welcome anytime, although you'll certainly get the most out of your visit if you come during the academic year when school is in session. You'll be able to get a feel for a "typical" day in the life of a Lesley College student.

The list below gives you an idea of some of the options available to you when you visit, apart from more formalized open house programs which are held throughout the year. Please contact the Office of Admissions directly at (800) 999-1959, ext. 8800, or (617) 349-8800, in advance if you are planning a campus visit.

Personal Interview

An interview is the perfect opportunity to tell us more about you, and to ask any and all questions that may help you determine whether Lesley is the right fit.

With the exception of a few holiday periods, interview appointments are available Monday through Friday throughout the year, and most Saturday mornings during the academic year. Please call the Office of Admissions in advance to schedule a personal interview. An interview is not required as part of the application process.

Information Sessions

Admissions counselors hold information sessions for students and their families often throughout the calender year. Information sessions provide insight into a broad range of topics and aim to acquaint participants with Lesley College as a whole. After an informal presentation, students and their families can get specific questions answered by an admissions staff member.

Campus Tour

Our student tour guides offer campus tours Monday through Friday throughout the year, with the exception of a few holiday periods, and most Saturday mornings during the academic year. Walking tours of campus take just over an hour. Please call in advance of your visit for specific tour times.

Class Visit

Prospective students are welcome to attend classes most weekdays during the academic year (with the exception of exam periods and vacations). Please call the Office of Admissions at least two weeks ahead of the date on which you hope to visit. This will allow us to schedule classes that are most closely related to the academic programs in which you are interested.

Overnight Visit

We encourage students to take advantage of the opportunity to stay overnight with one of our students in the residence halls, and to spend time informally with our students "after hours." We'll also arrange for students to attend a class or two the following day. Visits are scheduled for one night, and are available Sunday through Thursday evenings throughout the academic year (except during exams and vacation periods). To arrange for an overnight visit, please call the Office of Admissions at least two weeks in advance of the date on which you hope to visit. Overnight visits are reserved for applicants and those who have been offered admission to Lesley College.

Meeting with a Specific Member of the Lesley Community

While visiting, if you would like to meet with a specific member of the Lesley community, the Office of Admissions would be happy to schedule an appointment for you. Possibilities include, a faculty member from a particular discipline, our athletic director, the coach of a particular sport, or a staff member from the Center for Academic Achievement. Please call the Office of Admissions in advance of your visit to schedule one of these meetings.
