Freshman Experience

Neumont's Accepted student weekend

Now that you've been accepted, how do you figure out if Neumont is right for you?

It’s difficult to make a good decision – maybe one of the most important in your life – without first experiencing what it means to be a Neumont student. And you can’t do that if you don’t visit the campus. That’s why we developed FReX, Neumont’s Accepted Student Weekend, an immersive experience for prospective students. And, because we believe it’s important for you to visit, we’ve made it as affordable as possible.  We'll provide meals on campus, shuttle service between the airport, hotels, and University, and one double-occupancy hotel room for up to two nights.
