College campuses are buzzing again — and student life teams are planning events designed to connect, welcome, and energize.

From orientation and welcome week to homecoming and student org fairs, campus programming is all about experiences that leave an impression.

At The Exodus Experience, we work with colleges and universities across Boston, Rhode Island, and New England to bring energy, interactivity, and campus-friendly tech to student-focused events — all while staying within the realities of your programming budget.

Here’s how our college photo booth experiences are helping campuses stand out this fall.

Boost Attendance, Interaction, and School Spirit

Let’s be real: giveaways and pizza only go so far. Today’s students crave:

Shareable moments
Experiences that reflect their personal brand
Opportunities to connect in fun, casual ways
A modern photo booth checks all those boxes.

Our digital and print booths give students a reason to show up, stay longer, and share the event online — boosting your visibility and your turnout at the same time.

Experiences That Match Campus Culture

Whether your campus is big on athletics, art, Greek life, or wellness, we have booth options that can flex to match your event themes:

SKETCHEE: Our live digital sketch booth is a huge hit with creative crowds and multicultural events
Aura: The roaming booth that captures energy on the move — perfect for concerts, welcome events, and student org fairs
Trading Cards: Give students custom photo cards branded with your school logo, club name, or class year
Competition Mode: Make it a game — let students spin to win swag or VIP access after taking their photo
360 Booth: Capture slow-mo video of friends during kickoff events, spirit weeks, or spring flings

Every booth is fun, fast, and designed with student attention spans in mind.

Customized to Your Campus

We tailor every booth design with:
Your university logo or event branding
On-theme overlays for orientation, graduation, or club week
School colors and mascot design elements
Optional links or QR codes to connect students to your org or event calendar
It’s branding that’s actually exciting — not another flyer in a folder.
