Hi, does anyone know the process for visiting Brown University?

I've been drawn to Brown's open curriculum and its vibrant student body. I'd really love to visit the campus. Does anyone know how to set up a tour or a visit?

Touring a college campus is a great way to get a feel for the community and resources offered. With regards to Brown University, there are several different steps you can follow to set up a tour or visit.

First, head over to Brown's official website and look for the "Visit" section, under "Admission & Aid”. There, you will find information about in-person tours and virtual visits.

In-person campus tours usually last about an hour and depart from the Stephen Robert ’62 Campus Center. You can check the calendar for tour times and dates. Keep in mind, these are walking tours that cover a lot of ground, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.

Before you visit, you’ll need to pre-register for a tour online on their website. Spaces can fill up, especially during peak times such as the summer or school holidays, so it's best to sign up as early as possible.

An alternative to an official tour is a self-guided tour. You can download a self-guided tour brochure from Brown's website, which contains a campus map and information about key locations.

For those unable to visit in person, Brown also offers virtual visit options. These include online information sessions and virtual campus tours where you can explore the campus through an interactive map.In addition, consider reaching out to the Admissions Office if you have specific questions, or if you're interested in attending a class or meeting with a professor or current student during your visit. They may be able to arrange this provided you give sufficient notice.

Enjoy your visit to Brown. It's a beautiful campus with a lot to offer, so take the time to fully explore and get a sense of the academic and social culture!
