Visiting campus is a critical part of your college search process. Newbury offers several ways to spend time on campus. To take advantage of these opportunities, please call the Office of Admission at (617) 730-7007.

Interviews, Tours, Class Visits and Open Houses

Personal Interviews: Newbury does not require, but highly recommends that students make a personal appointment with a counselor. The Office of Admission is open 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and on specified Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Tours of Campus: During the fall and spring semesters, campus tours are offered Monday through Friday at 10:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., and on select Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. During the summer months, tours are offered Monday through Thursday at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and on select Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Please see Admission Events for the current schedule.

Classroom Visits: We encourage prospective students to attend a class that interests them. This allows students to get a true feeling for what happens in our classrooms.

Open Houses

The College holds three open houses each year, one in the summer and two in the fall. These programs allow families the chance to meet students, faculty and staff and get a taste of life at Newbury College. Please see Admission Events for upcoming dates.

Grand Buffets

At the end of each Culinary Arts academic module, our seven production kitchens come together to present an elaborate feast including hors d'oeuvres, ice carvings, breads and rolls, classical cuisine and special desserts and pastries. Students interested in our Roger A. Saunders School of Hotel & Restaurant Management are invited to campus to learn more about our Hospitality programs and participate in one of the four Grand Buffets held each semester. Please see Admission Events for specific dates.

Registration begins at 10:00 a.m., followed by a campus tour, meetings with our Hospitality and Culinary faculty and finally the Grand Buffet.

Nighthawk for a Day

Each semester, The Office of Admission invites students to its Nighthawk for a Day program. The event allows prospective students to experience “a day in the life” of a Newbury student. Attending a class, lunch in the dining hall and a tour of the campus are included in the day. This highly personalized program also allows parents to spend time with the College’s senior administration and have their questions answered. Lunch for parents is held in Newbury’s Weltman Dining Room and is prepared by the Culinary students and faculty.
