Where to Park, Eat, and Sleep
Parking
We have spaces allotted for Campus Day attendees. Enter from one of the two main entrances—from University Parkway or Reynolda Road. Follow the signs to the designated lots.
We expect there to be a high volume of visitors for each Campus Day event, so we encourage you to arrive early.
Check-in is from 7:30-8:45 a.m. in the Green Room in Reynolda Hall. Our official program begins at 9 a.m. in Wait Chapel.
Dining Options
Lunch is on us! At check-in, the accepted student will receive a preloaded dining card (maximum value: $25.00). The card may be used at any dining location on campus and shared among guests of the student. Please note that the card will only be active during the day of visit. Bon appétit!
All locations accept “Lunch is on us!” card, credit cards, and cash.
