Visiting campus is the best way to get a feel for the college and to picture yourself as a future student—walking the paths around the central quad at Memorial Field, saying "hi" to friends as you pass the lion statues on the way to class, catching up over tasty dishes in the caf. Ask: Would you want to spend more days in this environment? How about every day?
Get a sense of our welcoming community with more than 80 clubs and student organizations, 20+ NCAA Division III teams, and hundreds of campus events. Vibe with awesome peers and talk with professors one-on-one. Check out dorms, dining, and daily life. Plus you'll get an inside look at our cutting-edge learning spaces, like the engineering research lab and nursing simulation labs.
Easy access to the city means you'll make connections in Philly and beyond. Internships, co-ops, networking events—all that and more is at your fingertips. And when you're not building your resume, Philly has great restaurants, concerts, festivals, and sports. You'll have a close-knit campus paired with a city playground to explore your future.
We want to meet YOU! It's a two-way street: you get to explore Widener, and we get to learn about your unique goals and dreams too. Visiting in-person allows for one-on-one conversations and individual guidance on your path.
You don't have to have strong opinions yet about the kind of college experience you want. You can learn more about your preferences at a tour or a campus visit day without committing to anything (other than just showing up!). Ask: Small or large student body? Urban or rural campus? What kind of majors interest you? What clubs or extracurriculars would you want to be part of?
Visiting a college helps you compare schools more easily and confirm your top choice. Many Widener alumni and current students found that Widener was right for them once they saw campus in person and felt the unique energy of the Widener Pride.
Want a deeper look at academics and student life? Spend part of your day alongside a current Widener student. You’ll attend a class, meet faculty, grab lunch on campus, and explore more of what makes Widener feel like home. Both general and engineering shadow options are available.
If you’re still planning your trip or live far away, you can get to know Widener from home. Take a 360° virtual tour to preview classrooms, labs, dining spaces, and favorite student spots.
Our admissions team travels across the region—and nationally—to meet future Widener Pride. If we’re visiting your high school or attending a college fair near you, stop by and say hello. We’ll help you learn more about our programs, campus life, and the path to becoming part of our community.
