Are you ready to take the first step of your Jewell Journey? It all begins with a visit.

Looking at college viewbooks and websites provides important information for your college search, but there is no doubt, the very best way to check out the fit is to experience a college first-hand. Come on your own for an individual experience (bring your parents along) or choose to visit Jewell during a group event with other students looking for experience above and beyond ordinary...they're likely to be a part of your graduating class! To schedule your visit to The Hill follow the links below. Space is limited. If you have questions, please call us at 888-2-JEWELL (888-253-9355) or email admission@william.jewell.edu

Individual Experience Summer 2010

Monday through Friday 10:00-11:30 or 1:00-2:30

Take a campus walk with a current Jewell student.

Meet with your Admission Counselor and learn about admission, scholarship opportunities, and applying for and receiving financial aid.

An Individual Experience

Your journey is unique, based on your goals, your talents, and your interests. The best way to understand all of the opportunities ahead is to spend some one-on-one time with Jewell students, and meet with your admission counselor. Register for a visit Monday through Friday and please allow one week's advance notice. Tell us where you imagine your journey taking you and then experience first-hand how your dreams become reality!

I’d like to register for an Individual Experience.

Journey Experience

Journey Experiences are a great first look at Jewell and you’ll meet other students who’ll be a part of your journey. Similar to an individual experience but in a group setting, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with professors, current students, and your admission counselor. You might also eat lunch in the Cage or enjoy coffee, incredible cheesecake, or a smoothy in the Perch! If you like what you learn while you’re here, we encourage you to come again for an individual visit and experience Jewell based on your unique goals and interests.

I’d like to register for a Journey Experience.

Staying Overnight On Campus

Staying overnight in a residence hall can give you incredible insight into life outside of the classroom. So if you’re a senior and if you’ve submitted your application, you can stay overnight with a current student as a part of your individual visit. Bring your sleeping bag and a pillow, and be sure to provide at least two weeks advance notice when requesting your visit and overnight stay. When scheduling your visit, be sure to indicate that you’d like to stay overnight.
