Information Sessions & Tours
Find out all about our campus from Vanderbilt students who add their own personal experiences to our legendary history. During the tour, you can find out firsthand about academics, student life, residence halls, research opportunities, life in Music City, study abroad programs, or anything else you care to ask about. More than 17,500 people toured the Vanderbilt campus in 2006.
Information sessions are hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and last one hour. The walking tour will depart from the same location immediately following the information session. The walking tour lasts 90 minutes, so comfortable walking shoes are advised. We tour rain or shine, so be prepared with rain gear. Pets are not allowed in information sessions, but service animals are welcome.
Availability for these group sessions is limited, so please make reservations before making travel plans.
