Taking Advantage of Summer

Summer is the most unique time for us here in Admissions. The frenzy and fun of the application reading season and selection process is behind us, the new class has been selected and is eager to start at the end of August, and the hustle and bustle of another fall travel season awaits us in September. This is the time that we admission folks get to plan fall travel and enjoy the talent of our colleagues. We are always striving to figure out ways to improve upon our successes from the previous year, learn new tools of the trade, take some vacation days, and enjoy the warm weather on campus by taking our lunches to the picnic tables outside. The university campus crew can begin all of the renovation projects that help to enhance learning and brighten the experience for the next school year. Summertime is when we learn about the new and exciting things our friends across campus are coming up with and how we can also take part in the broader community.

Now – I’m sure you’re wondering what this means for those of you who want to visit…and don’t fret, summer is a perfect time for you to come and visit us. In fact, we are excited and awaiting your arrival – it’s one of the highlights during this time of year. With the extended hours of summer days, we are able to offer you insight into our process and give you tips before you begin your common application and essays. During the summer we offer information sessions and tours for students and families Monday through Thursday through mid-August and have self-guided tours available on Fridays! Our student ambassadors will take you on a tour and you can sit in on an information session with an admissions officer to learn more about the unique programs and community that make Bentley University so special. We also offer interviews Monday through Thursday during the summer, which allow us to learn more about you and offer you a more in-depth personal conversation about Bentley. Having visitors like you come to campus definitely makes the summer in the Watch City a more interesting place.

While on campus you should take a picture of yourself, your family, or your tour group using #FalconPix and see what happens. Enjoy your summer and be sure to visit Bentley! We will be here, looking forward to seeing you around campus!
