If you’re still wondering if Butler is the right fit (or maybe you want confirmation that it is!), we invite you to immerse yourself as a student and attend True Blue: Dawg Life.

Whether you want to see Butler’s campus just one more time—or for the very first time—this on-campus event will showcase student organizations, academics, residence halls, and more. You’ll meet other admitted students and hear from current Bulldogs in a student-only panel. Parents and families will also benefit from special programming hosted by campus leaders.

Optional campus tours will also be offered prior to the reception.

After the reception, we’ll head to historic Hinkle Fieldhouse—known as “Indiana’s Basketball Cathedral”—to watch the Bulldogs battle one of their BIG EAST rivals.
