Join us for the Ave Maria Experience, a two-day, overnight visit that gives you a real taste of life at Ave Maria University. You’ll stay in our residence halls, join current students for class, pray with us at daily Mass or Adoration, and connect with future classmates from across the country. 

Between activities, explore our vibrant campus community—clubs, households, intramural sports, and events—and learn about our 36 majors, 35 minors, and scholarship opportunities. All of this in beautiful, sunny southwest Florida! 

Schedule 
Begins: Friday at 9:30 a.m. 
Concludes: Saturday at 1:00 p.m. 

Overnight & Meals 
Students are invited to stay overnight in our residence halls as part of the full experience. If overnight accommodations are not feasible, students may still attend; however, off-campus lodging must be arranged by a parent or guardian. Meals are provided for all registered students throughout the weekend. 

Parent Participation 
Parents are warmly invited to attend both days of the event! Special parent sessions will provide insight into Ave Maria’s academics, student life, faith formation, and financial aid resources. Please note that on-campus housing is not available for parents. Families should arrange local accommodations off campus for the duration of the event. 

We can’t wait to welcome you to campus and give you a glimpse into the joyful, faith-centered life that defines Ave Maria University. This is more than a visit—it’s your chance to experience the AMU community in its fullest and most genuine form.
