Also, please know that Wesleyan does not factor demonstrated interest into admission decisions; therefore, choosing not to visit campus will not have any impact on your candidacy.

VIRTUAL TOURS

Virtual tours are led by current students in an hour-long Zoom session as they “walk” you through campus and share their Wes experiences and insights in a slideshow presentation. No need to wear comfortable shoes or worry about the weather! Time is reserved at the end of each session for questions. Attendees will be able to see the presenters and submit questions throughout the session using the chat function. Virtual Tours are offered on Thursday and Sunday evenings throughout the semester, but advance registration is required.
