Visit Hampshire
A campus visit is the single most important way to get to know what Hampshire has to offer. Experience first-hand what it's like to live, learn, and work at a college that truly is unlike any other.
There are many ways to personalize your campus experience, either through the admissions office or on your own. The admissions office is open to the public Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Eastern time), and for limited hours on select Saturdays.
Our office will be offering information sessions and tours during the summer from Monday, June 5 through Saturday, August 26, 2017. We will reopen for fall visits on Monday, September 11.
Interviews are a one-on-one conversation with an admissions counselor or a fourth-year Hampshire student. Interviews are informative as well as evaluative, and can be very helpful to prospective students and to the admissions committee. Please note, we do not offer interviews on summer Saturdays.
Join us for food, fun conversations, and a peek into the Hampshire classroom. In April, our accepted students days contain an overnight component; spots are limited, so sign up today!
One of the best ways to observe Hampshire's pedagogy in action is to observe a class. We do not have classes during the summer. Please let the admissions office know if you plan on visiting a class.
Be a Hampshire student for a day! Our Div Days are weekly special events for prospective students and their families. Sit in on classes, meet our community, and discover what it's really like to be a Hampshire student.
Spring overnight visits are available this spring semester for prospective first-year students who have already been accepted to Hampshire College.
Hampshire welcomes groups of students from high schools or other programs. Groups of six or more require reservations; we kindly request that group visit requests be made at least two weeks in advance.

"There are two reasons why Hampshire graduates achieve so much. One is the kind of person the college attracts. The other is what the college does for them by equipping them to become their own wide-ranging explorers and connection-seekers."Loren Pope, Colleges that Change Lives (2006)
