Campus Tour and Information Session

The campus visit starts in front of the Admission Office at Hopson Cottage. Your tour begins with a short information session and ends with a Q&A. Campus visits usually last about 75 minutes. There is NO access to any campus buildings. Visitors do not have to wear a mask outside, but all visitors must bring a mask with them, because they must wear a mask in the Admission Office and in case they are invited to wear one while on campus. 

Details about the tour will be found in your registration confirmation email. Health and Safety protocols are constantly changing. You will be advised of current protocols during your campus tour information session.

After your tour, we invite you to explore the northernmost sites on campus in your car, as they are not easily walkable from Admission. You can explore these sites by following the audio-guided driving tour. The QR code for this tour is on the kiosk in front of Admission.

Self-Guided Walking Tour

Visitors must register for the walking tour upon arrival using the QR code which is printed on the brochure and also on a sign at this location. These tours are not scheduled, so students and their families are welcome to walk around campus at a time that works best for their schedule. 

We strongly suggest that families pair the walking tour with the audio-guided driving tour, which allows visitors to see a full loop of campus, including the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, The Hessel Museum, Music and Film Program buildings and Blithewood Manor, home to the Levy Economics Institute which also has a beautiful view of the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains.

There is NO access to any campus buildings. You do not have to wear a mask outside, but all visitors must bring a mask with them in case they are invited to wear one while on campus.

Weekdays during business hours only:  Admission Counselors are available to speak with visitors and answer questions. Visitors may also use the bathroom facilities in the Admission Office foyer. Please ring the doorbell for access to the bathroom facilities or to be greeted by an Admission Counselor. You must wear a mask in the Admission Office.

Audio-Guided Driving Tour

These tours are not scheduled, so students and their families are welcome to drive on and around campus at a time that works best for their schedule. 

The audio guide includes an introduction by the Director of Admission (please park and listen to the intro before driving), directions (the audio is timed with the drive, so stay between 15-20 mph), and information about what you see along the route as you drive through campus. There is a printed brochure of the driving tour map in the red kiosk in front of Admission.

The audio-driving tour guides you along a full loop of campus starting at the Admission Office (Hopson Cottage) and ending at Blithewood on the southwest end of main campus. Visitors may get out of their car, stretch their legs, and enjoy the view at Blithewood and can picnic there at a safe distance from others. A map of local restaurants with take-out options can be found here. 

NOTE: There is NO access to any campus buildings. You do not have to wear a mask outside, but all visitors must bring a mask with them in case they are invited to wear one while on campus.
