Tour Campus

We invite you to join us for a daily campus and/or residence hall visits led by our Andrew Ambassadors.

Enjoy an engaging hour long walking tour led by Andrew Ambassadors who will provide a general overview of Carnegie Mellon complete with interesting facts, figures and historical tidbits about the university. Because the campus tour is a broader look at Carnegie Mellon, we encourage tour participants to return to points of interest on campus once the tour has concluded for a more up close and personal look at specific stops. We also offer a residence hall visit daily that takes prospective students through a typical first-year residence hall.

Because of the sensitive nature of many of our classes, the School of Drama does not have an open door policy on visiting students attending classes. We will have classes available during Sleeping Bag Weekends for students interested in attending Carnegie Mellon University. Students and their families interested in visiting classes on Sleeping Bag Weekend should meet in the lobby of the Purnell Center for the Arts at 8:30 am on the Monday of each Sleeping Bag Weekend to obtain a schedule of available classes.
