Fall Preview + Adventure
Preview Events are a great opportunity for students and parents to visit the campus and get an inside look at what life is like at Asbury. You'll attend classes, eat in the dining hall, worship in chapel and stay overnight in one of our residence halls. In addition, you'll meet our students, interact with professors, explore academic programs and attend informative seminars. Preview Days also include special sessions for parents, like the Financial Aid Seminar. Fall Preview + Adventure is all of the fun and information of an Preview event plus an additional night in the Kentucky Red River Gorge hiking, exploring, and sleeping in hammocks. The Adventure component is optional and does cost $20. Students are welcome to attend Fall Preview and not go on the Adventure, but the Adventure cannot be attended except in conjunction with Fall Preview.
