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. You may want to schedule an appointment to meet with a faculty member, coach, Multicultural Affairs staff member, or other member of the Macalester community while you are on campus. The Admissions Office will be glad to put you in contact with anyone on campus so that you can arrange a meeting directly. Spring Sampler Weekends.
