Overnight Visits
What better way to get a feel for being a Drew student than to spend a night as one? Drew’s Overnight Program pairs admitted high school seniors with Drew student ambassadors who serve as overnight and day hosts. This is an ideal chance to meet Drew students sleep in a dorm room, tour the campus, eat in the Commons, attend classes, meet faculty and coaches, and be a part of on-campus events.
Visits are offered Sunday through Thursday from February 5th to April 29th.
No visits will be scheduled March 11th – March 18th, 2012 (students will be on spring break).
