Common Questions
  Where do I go for parking and check-in?

Staff members or student ambassadors will be outside to assist you with parking and direct you to check-in.

This address will lead you to our main entrance on the Boston Post Road (across the street from a Subway for reference) and the admissions building will be the first building on the right as you enter.

Of course! We'll be more than happy to assist you with check-in once you arrive – just let us know by calling 203-932-7319 or emailing admissions@newhaven.edu.

Tours typically last about 60-75 minutes.

  Can I bring an additional guest?

We kindly ask that you limit the number of guests to two people (total of three in your party). However, if there is a younger sibling or family member who cannot stay at home, they are more than welcome to attend.
