Join Us For Open House!!


With travel season in full effect, the admissions team has thoroughly enjoyed hitting the road!  We’ve visited hundreds of high schools from California to Maine, South America to Asia, have spoken to phenomenal prospective students interested in Western New England University and have built great relationships with guidance counselors from Massachusetts to Texas, Brazil to China! 

And we’re not finished yet!

Now that we’ve visited you, it’s your turn to visit us! And what better way to do this than to attend an open house at Western New England University!!

We’re going to list several benefits of joining us for an open house.

Here we go:

1.      Tour the Campus
You can enjoy a walking tour of our beautiful campus and residence halls before the day starts. Tours are led by Western New England University students. This is a great way to learn all the ins and outs of the campus from current students.

2.       Connect with other prospective students
There is a large amount of students who attend our open houses so this means that you get to meet many of your potential classmates. With such a large amount of students in attendance, you will get a pretty good feel for what social life will be like at Western New England University.

3.       Academic Information Sessions
This is a great opportunity to sit in on an information session led by faculty and learn more about the major you are interested in, what to expect and how students and professors interact with one another.

4.       Admission & Financial Aid Review
You and your parents will receive an overview of the admissions and financial aid process of Western New England University.  You will also have the opportunity to speak 1 on 1 with an admissions counselor to have your individual questions answered. By the way…NOW IS THE TIME TO APPLY!!!

5.       Q & A Session
This is a fantastic opportunity to ask current students of Western New England University what social and campus life is like at the University. This is a student led panel in which some may be involved in athletics, academic or professional organizations, special interest groups and more.

6.       FOOD!!!!
What better way to end the day then to have lunch on us!!! We have phenomenal meatballs!!! Speaking of food…You’ll also learn about the different meal plans that Western New England University offers our students as well.

By joining us for an open house, you get to look deeper into what we are all about. And we would also like to meet you of course!!

2015 Admissions Travel



                        So it begins… Seniors all over the country have begun searching for the college of their dreams and admissions counselors all over the country are here to help.
Here, at Western New England University, the leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, and the admissions office is working full tilt to find the perfect students to fill our Class of 2019. Eleven counselors are traveling throughout the north east, across the country and around the world, hoping to meet you, answer all of your questions, and tell you about the fantastic programs offered at Western New England.
                        If you’re reading this blog, you may already know quite a bit about Western New England, and may be wondering what to do next. Personally, the best advice that I have is: Come visit us! We are eager to show off our beautiful campus and state-of-the-art facilities. We counselors can (and probably will) tell you about Western New England until we’re hoarse, but until you arrive, you can’t fully comprehend everything that makes WNE great.  So come take a tour of campus, speak with students, professors, coaches and counselor and come ready to be amazed. Tours are typically offered four times a day, five days a week (and occasional Saturdays). We also have six more open houses coming up throughout this academic year. These are fantastic opportunities to meet current students, see campus, sit in on student panels, admissions presentations, and speakers from many academic programs.
                        In the meantime, our counselors are still on the road, and we may be coming to a high school near you. Keep an eye out for upcoming fairs and visits so you can come meet us and get your questions answered. Application season has begun and we are already sending out acceptances, so as questions come up, email them to learn@wne.edu or call the office at 413-782-1321.
Upcoming Open House Dates:
Sunday, October 26th
Saturday, November 8th
Saturday, November 22nd

We hope to see you on soon!
