Virtual Campus Tours

Whether you have been able to visit campus in-person or you can't make it to New York, we are excited to offer a live virtual campus tour option! Led by a student tour guide, these virtual tours will take you around spaces that are not available on an in-person campus tour, such as classrooms, laboratories, residence halls, academic centers, and more.

Campus Tours

“When I visited as a prospective student, I had a unique perspective because I came for a regular tour rather than any of the admitted students’ events. Seeing Barnard in its natural habitat was what helped me decide to come! I got to witness so many students moving with drive, passion, and purpose through campus and the larger NYC community, and I knew I wanted to become one of them myself. Now, as a Barnard student, I know that it is the community on campus that has taught me the most —about myself, about the work I want to produce, about the world at large.”
