We invite you to share in our community and see for yourself what makes WashU so special.

Whether you are just starting your college search or you already know that WashU is the place for you, we’re excited to connect with you and share in your college journey.

Check out our in-person and virtual visit options below – you can hear from current students, explore our beautiful campus, learn about our academic and extracurricular opportunities, and more.

In-Person Campus Visits

Daily Campus Visits

Campus visits provide an opportunity for prospective students to explore our beautiful campus and connect with our community. 

In-person campus visits are offered Monday through Friday and some Saturdays. Your visit will include a 45-minute information session, followed by a 75-minute student-led campus tour. Our information session will provide an overview of WashU, our programs as well as the admission and financial aid process.

Additional on-campus academic division sessions and/or tours are offered on Mondays and Fridays.

Group Visits

Special group visits are offered for students in grades 9 through 12.

Please note that sessions and/or tours may be canceled if extreme weather poses a severe risk to visitor, staff, or student safety.

LAUNCH Collective Student Events

WashU, Cornell University, Emory University, Pomona College, and Rice University are proud to present LAUNCH. We invite you to join LAUNCH partners in a city near you to hear more about our distinctive learning opportunities and dynamic communities. Admissions officers from our five schools will share a variety of perspectives on:

  • Academic Opportunities
  • Financial Aid Resources
  • Selective Admissions and Holistic Review
  • Campus Community

Each of our schools is unique, but we are united in our commitment to support students and families in making informed decisions about applying to college. At the end of our program, you’ll have a chance to meet with individual admissions officers to ask questions about each college and university. We look forward to meeting you there!
