Campus Visits

Students and parents are invited to visit the campus, attend classes, and speak with Christendom faculty and staff. Complimentary meals and lodging are provided for prospective students as guests of the College. Students will stay in one of the residence halls with a student ambassador. Campus visits normally last three days and two nights. (Normally students arrive on Thursday night/Friday morning and leave Sunday afternoon or Monday morning.)

Students who are traveling to Christendom by car should bring sleeping bag or sheets and blankets, towels, pillow, etc. Those who are traveling by plane, towels, sheets, blankets, and pillows will be provided. Overnight visitors may be required to sleep on an air mattress on the floor of their host's bedroom, or sometimes, the host lets the visitor sleep in his/her bed. The student ambassadors may have obligations including classes, studying, meetings, events, or even workstudy obligations, and therefore, visiting students may need to spend on their own. Visitors are asked to have a flexible attitude!
