Bethel University to Host Immersive Overnight Visit – Go2BU

Bethel University will host Go2BU, a 24-hour immersive campus visit experience, on October 16-17, 2025. Go2BU is for high school juniors, seniors and transfer students. Students will discover what it’s like to be a Bethel Pilot by staying overnight at Bethel University, attending chapel, observing class and participating in Tip-Off Madness, our annual kick-off to basketball season. Registration closes October 13.

Throughout the event, a variety of activities will be available to visiting students and their parents. Students will meet their overnight hosts, enjoy meals on campus, have an opportunity to attend a concert, participate in dorm activities and more! This also includes attending chapel, a first-year experience panel, and an optional campus tour. Students will have an opportunity to audition for music and theatre scholarships after the event.

“Go2BU is more than just a campus visit – it’s a chance to dive into the full Bethel experience,” says Christine Dickinson, director of admission. “From staying in the dorms to joining the excitement of Tip-Off Madness, students will see firsthand what makes life at Bethel unforgettable. We can’t wait to welcome them to campus!”

Meals and entrance to all campus activities are free of charge. Visiting for this event also qualifies incoming Fall 2026 students to receive a $2,000 visit scholarship. Sign up now at BethelUniversity.edu/Go2BU.
