Olivet is nestled in the historic village of Bourbonnais, Illinois — about an hour from Chicago. Situated on more than 275 acres, the campus consists of both historic and innovative architecture, on beautiful, park-like grounds. Nearby are coffee shops, restaurants and all the amenities a college town affords.
If your visit includes an overnight stay, and your family requires lodging, there are plenty of options. Also, while in town, stop at a few of these student favorites.
Many of the Olivet group days include a Chicago trip together. For those who choose to visit for a customized day, we recommend including a day trip to Chicago — one of the world’s greatest cities. Catch a Cubs game at Wrigley, see Van Gogh’s famous ‘bedroom’ at the Art Institute, and sample some Chicago pizza at Lou Malnati’s. Ask us for suggestions!
Current students will serve as your hosts for the day as you tour the campus, visit classes, dine together, and jump into the Olivet scene. Many students make new connections with other visiting families, as well.
Each visit includes a brief session with your personal Admissions Counselor, where you can ask the burning enrollment and financial aid questions, and map out your plan for success at Olivet.
Each student is encouraged to stay overnight on campus with an assigned student — it’s a great way to really know what its like to live at Olivet. Students serve as overnight hosts, including meals together and usually an evening activity on campus.
