Overnight Visits
Overnight Visits are available only to prospective students who are high school seniors during the fall semester. The one-night experience offers the prospective student an opportunity to learn more about Columbia by staying with a first-year student host and shadowing an evening in the life of a real Columbian. Overnight visitors should be prepared to sleep on the floor of the host’s bedroom and to share communal bathrooms. Hosts may have obligations including class, studying, club meetings and even work-study positions on campus while hosting a prospective student. It is suggested that overnight visitors bring homework, reading and a flexible attitude for the visit. The program is exclusively for the registered prospective student. All family members and friends visiting campus with the student must find alternate accommodations. If you already know a current Columbia student, you may prefer to make alternative arrangements on your own.
Fall 2009 Overnight Visits
Overnight Visits will be offered Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 4:00pm SHARP beginning September 21 and concluding December 2. There will be no overnight visits offered during fall break week (November 4-6), and Thanksgiving break (November 25-27). An RSVP is required. Please scroll down for individual event dates and registration. Registration is limited for each evening and will close once capacity is reached. We kindly ask that you do not register for a specific date until you are sure you can attend. Prospective students may sign up for only one Overnight Visit. Multiple, active registrations for the same student on different dates will void all dates, and the student will not be able to participate. Please note that admitted students will have the opportunity to spend at least one night at Columbia in April during Days on Campus – our annual series of admitted student events. If the only date you are able to attend is full, please contact Dana Pavarini, Admissions Officer, dwp2102@columbia.edu, to check on cancellations.
