Visit and Virtual

On-Campus Tours and Information Sessions

Begin your visit with an introduction and Q&A with a Bowdoin Admissions officer. Then, join a student-led tour that highlights academic and student life on campus.  Pre-registration is required for information sessions and tours.

If you're visiting at a time when a student led tour is not offered, you can take a self-guided tour. Maps and a tour booklet are available just to the left of the entrance to the Admissions building and are accessible 24/7. You can also supplement your self-guided tour with our mobile audio tour. 

Virtual Information Sessions

Attend one of our many information sessions or special topic workshops hosted by admissions officers. Previously-recorded information sessions are also available on the arts, athletics, and more. 

Student Chats

Interviews
