Choose Your Weekend!

You’re in! Now what? Get the full Champlain experience at Admitted Student Day.

Come see for yourself what life could be like as a Champlain student. Exclusively for students admitted for the Fall 2025 semester, you’re invited to spend the day or weekend with us on campus, where you can envision yourself here for real. How close is the library to your favorite residence hall? Do the professors crack jokes, drop wisdom, or both? Who might your future best friend be?

Whether you’ve already decided Champlain is the school for you or you’re still weighing your options, there’s truly no better way to experience life at Champlain than joining us for Admitted Student Day.

Admitted Student Day is awesome. It’s great. It provides a lot of information. Champlain is my daughter’s first choice. We came here for a tour and she fell in love with everything. Burlington is a great city for her—and for us to visit. Last night she said, “Everything is perfect here for me. Everyone is so nice and kind.”
