2025 All Roads Preview Days

April 4, 11, 18, 21, 25

We encourage you to get to know us better during one of these five dates, which will feature opportunities to attend classes; take campus tours; learn about campus resources; interact with faculty, staff, and students; and meet fellow members of the Class of 2029! Come and experience the distinct feel of the Oberlin community.

Conservatory of Music and Double-Degree students are encouraged to visit on April 11 or 25 for the most comprehensive experience, including opportunities to attend student performances.

You are also welcome to visit campus outside of these preview days. We will be offering tours and information sessions for admitted students on other weekdays and Saturdays in late March and throughout April. Class visits, campus dining options, and other activities and events will also be available for admitted students on most of these days.

Registration for admitted student programming will open in mid-March.

 

Planning for Your Visit

Registration will be open from 8:00 am through 8:45 am. Visitors will be able to sign up for the a campus tour and class visits (students only) during check-in. 

Class Visits
We will email a list of available classes to registrants before the program date. Class visits are available throughout the day, beginning at 9:00 am. If you are interested in attending a 9:00 am class, we recommend that you arrive by 8:15 am to allow for ample time to check in, select your class, and walk to the class location.
