Spend a night at Augustana
Choosing the right college can be a challenge. When faced with such an important decision, it's a good idea to sleep on it.
An exclusive experience for students who have applied, we invite you to spend the night in a residence hall, eat in our cafeteria, enjoy the social and study life of Augustana. We recommend pairing this with an individual visit.
To request an overnight visit, contact the Office of Admissions at (800) 798-8100 x7341 at least two weeks prior to your visit (and after submitting your application for admission). Overnights are offered Sunday through Friday from October through April. Friday overnight visits are only available for students that schedule an individual visit along with their overnight stay.
Choose a date that best fits your schedule, keeping in mind the following dates and events:
• Experience Augustana: March 30, April 13. Plan your overnight stay for the night before Experience Augustana (March 29, April 12).
• Honors music auditions: February 4-6
• Music auditions: January 15, February 12, March 12
• Art portfolio reviews: January 15, February 12
• Theatre auditions: January 15, February 12, March 12
Be sure to check our calendar for other special events you wouldn't want to miss.
To experience Augustana at its fullest, avoid the following dates and events:
• Finals weeks, November 1-4 and February 14-17
• Fall break, November 5-14
• Christmas recess, December 18-January 11
• Spring break, February 18-March 6
• Easter recess, April 21-25
Before you call to set up an overnight, plan some things ahead of time:
• When will you arrive on campus, and when will you leave?
• Would you like to stay with someone who has a major you're interested in, or a fellow athlete, or someone who also enjoys the things you like to do?
• What kind of residence hall would you like to stay in (coed, first-year residence, etc.)?
• What would you like to do while you're here: meet with a certain professor or coach? Sit in on a music rehearsal? Tour all of campus, and/or a certain place on campus (art museum or studios, science building, library, geology museum, dance studio, etc.)?
• Are you going to join us for dinner and/or breakfast? We'll give you a meal pass to eat on campus in our dining halls.
An overnight visit is a great way to experience Augustana. You'll meet students, get a feel for the rhythm of a day on campus and just hang out in places that appeal to you-whether that's a racquetball court, coffee shop, computer lab or residence hall room. It's your visit, so make a night of it.
