Welcome Days

High school sophomores, juniors, seniors and their parents are invited to join us for an eye-opening weekend on the campus of Welch College. This is your chance to experience life on campus. You can meet the teachers, stay in the dorms, check out financial aid, and get acquainted with some of the finest young people anywhere.

The cost is only $35, and that includes meals, your room and a Welch College t-shirt.
