Admitted Student Virtual Programs

Learn all about what it's like to be a student at Bridgewater by joining us online the week of March 29-April 1, between 4:30-7:30 p.m.

BSU Admitted Student Virtual Programs are a series of live interactive 30-minute sessions that provide you with in-depth insights into our campus activities, enrichment opportunities and support services.

Optional Evaluative Interviews

Interviews are not required for admission to BSU, but they may provide both first year applicants and our counseling staff with additional information to make more informed decisions.

Transfer Student Informational Meetings

If you are thinking about transferring to BSU, consider scheduling a one-on-one meeting with a Transfer Counselor. They can give you personalized advice at any point in the application process.

Campus Tour Offerings

Join us for a one-on-one student-guided tour, Monday through Saturday, with all the necessary physical distancing precautions to keep you and our campus safe.

You and your guests will be assigned your very own student tour guide who will share their personal perspective and insights while you walk our beautiful campus for a 90-minute tour. Reservations are required to ensure that we can assign one tour guide to each prospective student and their guests.

In accordance with state public health guidelines, face masks must be worn at all times on campus, guests must stay six feet away from other groups and buildings will not be accessible at this time.

Due to current restrictions in the state’s COVID-19 Travel Order , only prospective students and guests who are residents of Massachusetts are allowed to participate in our student-guided tours. Those who are from a state other than Massachusetts with a current negative COVID test may email gmeyer@bridgew.edu to make special arrangements for a campus tour.

Availability of tour dates and times are subject to change as we continue to closely monitor COVID-19, so please check back regularly for the latest updates on tour opportunities. Also be sure to join our online offerings: Afternoons with BSU, Admission Info for Prospective Families and our Virtual Tour.
