Admitted students and their families are invited to come to campus during All Roads Lead to Oberlin!

2026 All Roads Preview Days

February 20 or April 3, 6, 10, 17, 24

We encourage you to get to know us better during one of these five dates, which will feature opportunities to attend classes; take campus tours; learn about campus resources; interact with faculty, staff, and students; and meet fellow members of the Class of 2029! Come and experience the distinct feel of the Oberlin community.

You are also welcome to visit campus outside of these preview days. We will be offering tours and information sessions for admitted students on other weekdays and Saturdays in late March and throughout April. Class visits, campus dining options, and other activities and events will also be available for admitted students on most of these days.

Registration for these events will open in January.
