Overnight Visit
Come see what
Hope is all about by staying with one of us for the night. Spending
the night is a great way to find out more about Hope as you try
to determine if Hope is the right college for you. By staying
overnight,
you'll get an inside look at what it's like to be a Hope student.
Most students meet their hosts late afternoon/early evening.
We'll
give you a glimpse of Hope through our activities and interests.
We have lots of friends to introduce you to as well.
Catch our
enthusiasm
for Hope!

Overnight visits are typically offered Sunday, Thursday, and Friday evenings, during the academic
year, and in conjunction with an Individual
Visit,
Visit Day or Saturday
Morning Visit. Overnight visits with a current Hope student are a
great way to see what campus life is all about. You will be included in
the plans your overnight host has for the evening. Activities will vary
depending on your overnight host and the night of the week you visit.
Ask lots of questions and gain a first-hand perspective on what makes
Hope a great place to spend four years.
*** Please note that seniors will be given priority for overnight stays when space is at a premium due to our academic calendar!
What to Expect
Prospective students will establish relationships and gain insight on the Hope College experience from current students. Complimentary
breakfast, lunch, and dinner in our campus dining hall are provided
to students who stay overnight. Parents are welcome, but must make
lodging reservations nearby. A good option is the on-campus Haworth
Inn and Conference Center which is available at a discount for
prospective students. Other
lodging is also available in Holland. Overnights are one evening.
Priority will be given to high school seniors. If you have a friend
on campus, you are welcome to make your own arrangements for an overnight
stay.

What to Bring
Bring a sleeping bag, pillow, toiletries, and bath towel. Be prepared
to spend some time on your own since there's a good chance that your
overnight host will have some studying to do. This would provide
an opportunity to explore the campus or downtown Holland area. If
you'd like an athletic diversion, you are invited to use the Dow
Health and Physical Education Center. A swimming pool, indoor
track, weight room, exercise bikes, racquetball and basketball courts
are available for your use.

Scheduling an Overnight Visit
Call our Campus Visit Coordinator at 1.800.968.7850
two weeks in advance to schedule an overnight visit. After we assign
an
overnight host to you, your overnight host will contact you to introduce
herself or himself and confirm arrangements. Occasionally overnight
hosts have difficulty reaching their guests. Please call the Admissions
Office to confirm your overnight arrangements if you do not hear from
your overnight host two days prior to your visit. |
