The campus looks friendly. The academic programs are intriguing. The setting is comfortable. The students are happy. And everything you read sounds perfect. You can see yourself at Bridgewater College - sitting in class, socializing in the dorms, playing sports, conducting research with your professors, laughing with friends, attending a campus event...and more.

Experience it for real. Schedule a visit. Come see if Bridgewater fits who you are -- and who you want to be. See if it matches your expectations, and if the words and the photos ring true.

There are a couple ways to visit:

Personalized visit
Tell our Admissions Office what you and your family would like to see and do while on campus, and we'll make all the arrangements. While here, you and your parents can participate in a one-on-one interview with an admissions counselor so we can get to know you better -- and you can get to know us. We're available weekdays and most Saturdays.

Open house
Bring your family for an opportunity to meet and talk with current Bridgewater students, faculty, staff, and administrators. You'll also tour campus and have lunch on us. We'll even waive your application fee if you bring a completed application to an open house event.

Your parents are an important part of the college search process, and we encourage you to include them in all your decisions. No doubt they have questions about Bridgewater as well, so make sure you bring them with you when you visit.

While on campus, you can:

• Tour our 190-acre campus set against the beautiful backdrop of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and our academic buildings, athletic fields, residence halls, and horse stables
• Discuss your future goals with an admissions counselor
• Meet faculty in your area(s) of interest
• Get the inside scoop from current students
• Sit in on a class
• Talk with a coach if you plan to try out for a team, or a music or theatre director if you want to pursue these activities
• Check out the surrounding area and see if this is the place you want to call home for the next four years
