The Arbor Experience 

Have you applied and been admitted into Spring Arbor University? If yes, this overnight event is for you! 

The Arbor Experience is the best way to get a first hand look at what it feels like to be a student at SAU. This includes a night of hanging out with current students, eating in the DC, participating in a campus event, staying in the dorms, and that only covers Sunday night! Monday, get ready to wake up and eat breakfast with your future professors, take a campus tour, attend Chapel, go to a class, explore student life opportunities, hear from current students in a panel discussion, and get ice cream with your admissions rep! All in a day's work as a future cougar. The best part, you get to experience this all with your future classmates (soon to be best friends)! 

Parents: Welcome and encouraged to drop off Sunday and attend all day Monday 

Event Open to: Admitted High School Seniors and College Transfer Students
