Overnight Visits
If you are currently a high school senior, we invite you to view Williams first hand by staying overnight with a first-year host.
The overnight stay, which includes three meal tickets, will be arranged by the PurpleKey Society, a student-run organization housed in the Office of Admission.
Please note: The overnight request session has ended for the 2007-2008 school year.
Reservations for the 2008-2009 school year will be accepted beginning on Wednesday, October 1, 2008, with the first available overnight being on Sunday, October 13, 2008. Once the link for the Overnight Request Form has become active, you may request an overnight stay Sunday through Thursday, from October 13 through November 27, 2008 and February 10 through March 5, 2009. Before planning your overnight visit, please be sure to check our academic calendar to make sure you have selected a time when classes are in session. Please note: We require at least 15 days notice to arrange hosting for your campus visit.
In order for the PurpleKey Society to host you, you must return the Williams College Standards of Conduct form, signed by you and your parents. Until we receive this signed form, we cannot reserve a place for you. You will receive an email confirmation when we receive the form.
