Considering Husson? Then you should mark your calendar to attend Husson University’s Open House. This is one of the best ways to really experience a university before making a decision. Not convinced? Here’s 8 reasons attending Open House is a fantastic idea.

Get a guided tour of campus

Husson University’s campus is built around a circle, making it super easy for students to get from one place to another, no matter where they are coming from. During your guided tour of campus at Open House, you’ll get to see inside classrooms, in residence halls and around the dining facilities. 

“Physically being on campus gives you a better idea of the atmosphere rather than looking online,” said Associate Director of Remote Recruitment Stephanie Fazzino.

Meet current students

It’s one thing to hear from the people who teach courses and run a school. But how do the students themselves feel about it all? At Husson’s Open House, you have the unique opportunity to chat with current students, who can speak to both academics and campus life. 

Connect with faculty and staff

At Husson, faculty members, academic advisors and other staff members are invested in the success of students. But don’t just take our word for it — meet faculty and staff for yourself at Husson’s Open House and ask about how things work, what support is available and more. 

Explore all the academic programs available

Did you know that Husson University offers more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, professional, and certificate programs in fields including business, technology, hospitality, education, healthcare, and communications? Open house gives you the chance to learn about different degrees, hear from department heads, and explore opportunities that align with your career goals.

“Students might think they know what they would like to study, but sometimes have a change of heart after talking with faculty and learning just how many options there are,” said Fazzino.

Picture yourself enjoying Husson’s clubs and activities

Seeing is believing! And so is learning about all the things you can do in college. After all, college isn’t just about academics. It's also about personal growth, involvement and building strong friendships. At Open House, you can learn about sports, clubs, activities and other opportunities on campus. Plus, Husson’s clubs aren’t just interesting on paper — they are out in the world doing pretty cool things. For instance, the Woman in Business Club recently attended the Harvard Women in Leadership Conference together. And Husson’s Get Lit Club is hosting an Open Mic Night to give students a chance to share their writing.

Get a head start on the admissions process

Navigating the admissions process can be overwhelming but attending Open House makes it easier by giving prospective students the opportunity to speak directly with admissions counselors, ask questions about applications and get clarity on important deadlines. 

Learn more about financial aid and scholarship opportunities

Financial concerns are one of the biggest challenges students face when starting school. Husson is among the most affordable private colleges in the Northeast, and there are many opportunities for financial help. Attending the Open House is the perfect time to learn more about the financial aid process and the options available to make your Husson education fit your budget.
