At Accepted Students Day you can experience life as a Warren Wilson student! Join your fellow admitted students to explore in person our unique experiential learning model, which integrates the liberal arts with community engagement and on-campus work.

Lunch will be provided, and you’re also welcome to join us for the Cupcake Social at the end of the day.

Wear comfortable shoes, bring rain gear, and check the weather report. Your campus exploration will span across our hilly campus, rain or shine. We can offer a golf cart tour to accommodate those with accessibility needs.
