Visiting Bard
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. Come and see the main campus, dorms, gym, library, and Bard’s two new architectural jewels, the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts and the Gabrielle H. Reem and Herbert J. Kayden Center for Science and Computation. A visit also affords the opportunity to attend an information session with an admission counselor and ask questions in person.
Campus Tours and Information Sessions
Campus tours take 90 minutes and may be preceeded or followed by an optional 1/2 hour information session. |
