Your Arrival

Fridays at Calvin spans most of the day. Like many of our student visitors, you may want to spend a night here. Arrive on Thursday afternoon and meet your Calvin student host, while your parents stay at the Prince Conference Center or an area hotel; or spend Friday night, after the day's program. Either way, we'll take care of your on-campus lodging and meals.
