Plan Your Visit

Our campus recovery from Hurricane Helene is making quick progress. We are excited to have students back on campus soon, and we’ll return to welcoming visitors beginning November 4th. Please be sure to confirm that your route to campus is unobstructed, and ensure that your accommodations have not been impacted, as several hotels in the area are temporarily closed. We are eager to welcome new faces and to share about our incredible community response to this natural disaster.

A visit to Warren Wilson College is a two-hour session that includes a student-led campus tour, an optional interview with an admission counselor, and the chance to attend a class. Visit sessions are offered twice each weekday, in the morning and afternoon, with the exception of College holidays. In addition to the two-hour session, those interested in Athletics can meet with a coach.

If you’d like to further personalize your visit, please indicate your preferences when scheduling, and we will gladly customize your experience to the best of our ability.
