And, if you\u2019re still deciding which school is best for you, accepted students events can be especially helpful in helping you with your final decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most schools will hold some version of an accepted student day, and they are typically held during the spring semester. Accepted student days provide you with opportunities to get a feel for a college\u2019s campus environment, meet current students, connect with professors, learn more about your housing options, and so much more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious about what happens during UNE\u2019s New Nor\u2019easters Accepted Student Days? Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Attend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we chat specifics about UNE\u2019s accepted students events, let\u2019s go over why these days are so important. Besides spending the day on our beautiful coastal campus, at accepted student days you can expect to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>get a feel for campus life and school spirit, while getting to know current UNE students and your future classmates<\/li><li>learn more about your major through classroom experiences, lab simulations, and chats with professors<\/li><li>attend sessions for financial aid and student services<\/li><li>enjoy lunch and take home some free UNE swag!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide UNE is the right school for you and you\u2019ve submitted your enrollment deposit before or during one of our accepted students days, you\u2019ll benefit from a \u201cone stop shop\u201d experience. Once you submit your deposit, you can select your residence hall and roommate preferences by completing your Housing and Dining Application and Contract. Members of our Office of Residential\/Commuter Life will be available on campus if you have questions about the application or anything housing related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also learn about and sign up for new student Orientation while you\u2019re at accepted students days. It will feel great to cross those items off your to-do list and leave you to enjoy the rest of your senior year stress-free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Nor\u2019easters Accepted Student Days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have already noticed that UNE holds not one, but three Accepted Student Days: one on our Portland Campus, and two on our Biddeford Campus. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Nor\u2019easters Accepted Student Day \u2014 Portland Campus: February 18, 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <strong>Portland Campus Accepted Student Day<\/strong> is held exclusively for Dental Hygiene, Nursing, and Pre-Pharmacy majors. This is because, as a UNE student in one of these programs of study, you will spend the first two years of your undergraduate career on our primary undergraduate Biddeford Campus and your final two years on our Portland Campus. In Portland, you\u2019ll benefit from interprofessional lab and simulation experiences, clinical work, and internship opportunities \u2014 especially since you\u2019ll be in close proximity to many renowned hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Portland Campus Accepted Student Day, you will connect with professors and current students, tour your program\u2019s labs and classrooms, and have the opportunity to meet with financial aid and student life teams to answer any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Nor\u2019easters Accepted Student Day &#8211; Biddeford Campus: March 25 and April 1, 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our<strong> Biddeford<\/strong> <strong>Campus Accepted Student Days<\/strong> are held for all majors. This is truly our most exciting program of the year for all accepted students! We have a great lineup of events that include classroom experiences, an academic and campus life fair (think clubs and extracurriculars, student support services, study abroad, and representatives from all our majors and minor programs, and more!), breakout sessions for financial aid and student services, lunch, student-guided tours, and fun activities to get to know your future classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our New Nor\u2019easters Accepted Student Days on our Biddeford Campus are right around the corner, too! Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.une.edu\/2023acceptedstudentsdaybcmarch25\/inquiryform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">March 25 here<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.une.edu\/2023acceptedstudentsdaybcapril1\/inquiryform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">April 1 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Portland vs. Biddeford<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering about the differences between our Accepted Student Day events, especially as a Dental Hygiene, Nursing, or Pre-Pharmacy major. We asked Pete Heeley, Director of Transfer Admissions, more about this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em><em>Our Portland Accepted Students Day will give you a feel for what your academic life will be like on the Portland Campus when you make the transition there during your junior year. Coming back for the Biddeford Accepted Students Day will complete the picture for you \u2014 you\u2019ll meet more people and really start to feel the excitement of starting your college career and being part of the UNE community.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we recommend attending both events if you can! While our Portland Accepted Student Day will give you a clear idea of what you can expect from your program, our Biddeford Accepted Student Days will provide more of an authentic school spirit experience, give you more opportunities to learn about our student services, and connect you with more students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See You On Campus!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions, you can always reach out to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.une.edu\/admissions\/undergrad\/counselors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admissions counselor<\/a>. We also have a great line-up of virtual events just for accepted students. You can watch the recordings and see what\u2019s coming up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.une.edu\/newnoreasters\/events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you near the end of your college search, now comes the fun part: attending the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":3123,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,4],"tags":[130,107,72,62,47,45,108,17],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-3121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-admissions","category-college-search","tag-accepted-student-days","tag-accepted-students","tag-admissions","tag-admissions-updates","tag-college-life","tag-college-search","tag-next-steps-for-accepted-students","tag-une"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
