Enjoy a sampling of the Benedictine experience at ‘Preferred Visit Day’

Want to find out why 94 percent of Benedictine University graduates either are working or enrolled in graduate school programs one year after commencement?

Attend one of the University’s “Preferred Visit Days,” an event held specifically for prospective undergraduate students who want to find out more about what a private, values-based education has to offer them.

Preferred Visit Day attendees meet with Admissions staff in small group settings to discuss Benedictine University’s renowned academic programs, the admissions process and requirements, applications, scholarships, financial aid and take a guided tour of campus.

Students may choose to attend one of three Preferred Visit Day sessions at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Monday, October 14 and Monday, November 11 at Benedictine’s main campus in Lisle.

Students and parents may also decide to attend the Homecoming Preferred Visit Day on October 12. Check in is at 10:00 a.m. at the Krasa Student Center. Following the presentation, attendees can enjoy the University’s Homecoming festivities, meet with alumni and current students, and enjoy free appetizers and giveaways. Parents and students who attend the event will also receive free tickets to the Benedictine Eagles Homecoming football game against Aurora University at 1:00 p.m. in the Village of Lisle-Benedictine University Sports Complex.
