Transfer Student Visit Opportunities
There's no better way to decide whether a school is going to be the right fit than to visit and explore (and sometimes it takes a few visits to make that decision!)
That's why we have a robust schedule of events designed with you in mind. Join us for a visit, and tour the school The Wall Street Journal ranks as No. 1 in the state of Ohio among all universities - public or private - for student experience.
While you're here, explore Bowling Green, Ohio where students live and learn while nestled in a city that is safe and affordable and full of local gems - restaurants, shops, parks and festivals unique to Bowling Green.
Our students say BGSU feels like home, and we are proud to be a community where all can belong.
