Admissions

Admitted students, join us to see Bennington up close—real campus life, real conversations, real collaboration.
During the day, you can:

  • Talk honestly with current students about their experiences
  • Explore campus on guided tours
  • Connect with your future classmates
  • Meet with your admissions counselor and financial aid team if you have lingering questions

Most importantly, you’ll get to see how Bennington students design their Plans and navigate their college careers. 

Registration is required so we can plan for you—please save your spot in advance.
