The obvious place to begin your investigation of Macalester's academic program is in the classroom. We encourage you to sit in on a class or two while you are here, and are happy to arrange a schedule for you. The widest variety of classes is available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but you are welcome to attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well. Please schedule class visits at least one week in advance. Spending a night in a residence hall, with a volunteer student host, is the best way to experience Macalester life outside of the classroom.
Overnight visits are available during the academic year.
Reservations for on-campus overnights must be made at least two weeks in advance. We cannot provide overnight accommodations during vacations or examination periods, on Saturday nights, or for more than one night. Space is limited, so please plan ahead. Because so many high school seniors request overnight visits, Macalester is not able to host juniors overnight. We welcome juniors for daytime visits and campus tours.
