Get a Taste of Golden Bear Life!

If you’re working on making your decision or just starting your college or advanced degree search, we invite you to see what makes Western New England University so great!

Located in a residential neighborhood in Springfield, Mass., WNE’s campus provides the close-knit community you’re looking for. While we’re a university of 215 acres, that doesn’t mean you’ll be walking miles or taking shuttles to class—residence halls, classrooms, labs, the gym, the library, and the University Commons are within easy reach. Our central location gives you access to résumé-building experiences, and educational, cultural, and fun places to explore right in your new “backyard”. The campus is less than 90 miles west of Boston and less than 140 miles northeast of New York City.

The best way to know if Western New England University is the right choice for you is by visiting campus and experiencing our community for yourself. Bring the family, tour our stunning campus, or take advantage of the specialized programming for students and parents at Open Houses. Tour options and registration can be found below. We hope to see you soon!
