We recommend a visit to Bard's campus. You can make an appointment for a student-guided tour of the facilities to get a feel for life at Bard. Please see our time schedule below. Your visit will include a tour of the main campus, athletics facility, library, and one of our many architectural jewels the Gabrielle H. Reem and Herbert J. Kayden Center for Science and Computation. A visit also affords the opportunity to attend a Q&A with a counselor and ask questions in person.

We also invite you to visit several campus attractions that we are not able to highlight on our campus tour. These include The Center For Curatorial Studies and Hessel Museum of Art, Olafur Eliasson's The Parliament of Reality, Blithewood which is home of the Levy Economic Institute at Bard, and the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.
