On-Campus Visits

Boston University is excited to welcome visitors to our campus! We host in-person tours and information sessions where you can experience the vibrancy of BU’s campus and meet current students. Here is some helpful information in preparation for your visit:

1. Registration is required for all events. Please select a date from our events calendar to register for a program in advance of your arrival on our campus.
2. During high school vacation weeks, holidays and weekends, our programs often reach capacity weeks in advance.  We recommended securing your visit before making travel plans.
3. If you are unable to secure a reservation or are on campus after hours, you are welcome to view campus through our mobile walking tour. You can find directions for how to use the mobile tour below. 
4. A member of the Board of Admissions is available to answer questions at the Visitors Center during our operating hours.
5. We offer information sessions year-round, but campus tours are not available when BU classes are not in session (much of December and January, Spring Break (in March) and May). We do host information sessions and campus tours throughout the summer.
6. Campus tours enter several buildings on campus, but residence halls are not included. Admitted students have the opportunity to tour residence halls at Admitted Student Open Houses in April.
7. Parking for visitors is limited. See our Directions and Parking page for the most updated information at the time of your visit.
8. Only trained service dogs are permitted in our building and on campus tours. Pets and emotional support or comfort dogs are not permitted.
