As the school year ends, new faces will take their place in lecture halls and dormitories as seniors cross the stage. Admitted Student Days are specifically designed so these incoming students and their families can get a glimpse of what life might be like at Geneseo.
Admitted students' day is fast approaching, occurring on Apr. 26 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM for the 2025-2026 school year. Students can register in different categories, making the event available not just for first-year students. Geneseo offers limited, helpful information and events for graduate, transfer, and international students to ensure they feel just as welcome.
Admitted Students Days are a perfect opportunity to tour the campus, meet professors and students, and get to know the other prospective peers in hopes of dorming with them or simply forming a future friendship.
Attending Geneseo’s, or any college’s, Admitted Students Day might be uncomfortable or challenging for some, but it is an amazing way to start your college journey before the first day of classes. Students will be able to ask all of the important questions they might have about their college experience, learn about the more than 180 clubs and organizations found on campus to find spaces that already celebrate incoming student’s interests, and in general, become more comfortable with the change of scenery while having fun with others that may be joining in the fall or spring.
Visiting colleges in general is important to explore their location, but choosing a school that fits one’s needs is even more crucial. Geneseo has a much tighter-knit and smaller student body than many other colleges, so finding an individual’s chosen group and interacting with others early-on may lead to essential deeper bonds than one may form at a larger state school.
Prospective students will also be pleased to hear that due to Geneseo’s smaller undergraduate size, finding leadership positions in organizations one may want to be a part of and change for the better is more manageable. Students can also host different outreach opportunities with other clubs. This acts as a good resume builder and valuable experience that one can use to grow further in one's professional and personal life.
During the actual Admitted Students Day, students have a wide range of locations to visit, including the freshly renovated Milne Library, the College Green, and Geneseo’s famous gazebo, which offers stunning sunsets across the Genesee Valley. Students will also find comfort in the campus’s North and South villages, getting a look at the variety of dorming options the campus offers, along with their dining hall options.
If potential students have decided on Geneseo as their home away from home, they can expect a very enjoyable experience. Important information to consider to make the process easier is New Student Orientation from Aug. 19 to Aug. 23, where students will receive a more in-depth guide on the campus and what they can expect for the fall semester. Geneseo will be sure to welcome whoever joins the campus with open arms.
