How to Visit

A Franklin College education is fully engaged – it’s something you do, not just watch. And the best way to choose your home for the next four years is to experience campus life for yourself.
We offer different kinds of visits:

• Are you a prospective student? You may see as little or as much as you want on an individual visit. It’s totally up to you whether you prefer to take in a tour or personalize your visit, meeting professors, coaches, students, attending classes and more.
• You may join other students for our select Saturday visits. Visitors attend an information session and join a campus tour.
• Strongly considering entering Franklin College and wanting a true sense of what our community is like from the student point of view? Shadow days allow you to go alongside a student.
• Would you like to take elementary, middle and high school age students to see college life? Group visits accommodate up to 100 students.

Admission events are regularly scheduled opportunities for you to learn about Franklin College and interact with faculty and students.

• Are you a high school sophomore or junior who has not yet visited campus? Our Grizzly Sneak Peak is an opportunity to learn about college in general, in addition to the Franklin College experience.
• Blue and Gold Days are our most popular days and offer students and parents the tradition and fun of an autumn Saturday on campus.
• Are you an admitted student? Stay for our overnight program.
• Ben Franklin Scholars will be invited to a scholarship program on campus.
