Information sessions and campus tours

The best way to get a feel for Northwestern University is to experience it yourself. Discover what makes us unique in an information session. Tour our beautiful tree-lined campus located just a few miles north of Chicago on the shore of Lake Michigan.

Our 45-minute information session provides an overview of the university and its six undergraduate schools, student life, the application process and financial aid, with time for questions and answers at the end. Campus tours depart from our building following the information sessions and last approximately 90 minutes.

Reservations are required for campus visits - please register below.
