Visit Campus

Imagine yourself walking to class on student-filled sidewalks dotted with the season's red and orange leaves. Imagine yourself cheering on the Cardinal football team amongst a sea of students dressed in tan and cardinal. Imagine yourself taking a late night trip to Schneider's Bakery with your residence hall roommates.

Imagine yourself at Otterbein.

Choosing a college is not an easy decision, and at Otterbein, we think it's extremely important to visit a college campus before you decide to enroll. After a visit to Otterbein, you will leave remembering the beautiful campus, the rich history, and most of all, the people.

The best way to see the campus and to discover the traditions and excitement it has to offer is to schedule a visit with the Office of Admission. Individual visits can usually be arranged Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on some selected Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Note: We may not be able to accommodate first choice requests if a large number of students request to visit at the same time on the same day. Please have an alternate date in mind if possible.)

However, we also have several special college visitation days scheduled throughout the year. These events are usually held on Saturdays and offer a number of informational sessions.

A typical visit includes a tour of campus, admission/financial aid conference, and can include lunch, observing a class, and meeting with a professor or coach. Depending on your visit requests, you may want to plan on arriving in the early morning or afternoon. We can even accommodate an overnight stay so you can really get the flavor of an Otterbein experience.

You may schedule an individual visit online or you may contact the Office of Admission at least one week in advance at 614.823.1500 or 800.488.8144. Please let us know what you are interested in doing during your campus visit and we will do our best to arrange everything for you.
