Collegeville in late October can be warm and clear or rainy and cold. When packing, keep in mind that during the day it could get as high as mid 60’s, but at night could get as low as mid 40’s.

Homecoming is a rain-or-shine event. Most activities take place in grassy areas and athletic fields. Brick and concrete walking paths provide access to most of the venues; however, wheelchair and walker access may be difficult in a few areas.

Parking at the 9th Avenue lot provides access to an upper and lower brick path which leads to the festivities and games. Golf carts will be circulating around campus parking lots to provide rides for those with limited mobility.

Of course! Take time to get reacquainted with the Ursinus campus during your visit. View our pre-scheduled times and see how much the campus has changed in recent years.
