In its 19th year, OSP is the largest overnight experience program at UC Berkeley attracting nearly 800 participants each year. As a student-run program, we offer participants a highly unique student-to-student perspective on college life here at Cal.

Admitted Cal students (high school seniors who have been accepted to UC Berkeley) can get a taste for college life at UC Berkeley through the Overnight Stay Program—a 24-hour campus visit organized by Cal students of the Leadership Award Scholars Association.

Parents of student participants can participate in a concurrent program tailored to parents' interest, which includes panels of students, alumni, and current Cal parents, information sessions with financial aid, health and safety, and other campus resources.
