Join us for a campus visit!

Available Monday-Friday, at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., and Saturdays at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., the campus visit provides insight into academics and what it’s like to be a student on campus.

Your visit will begin with a half hour information session, providing an overview of Syracuse University and the application and financial aid processes.  A campus tour will follow the information session, led by a student ambassador from our University 100.

At this time, access to residence halls are limited and will not be included as part of your campus tour. We encourage you to visit our housing page for additional details.

While you’re on campus, you’re also invited to attend a school/college information session, available daily at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Thinking about a particular major or field? This your chance to learn more!
