Campus tours

The 75-minute student-led campus tour will take you through the heart of campus as you explore the Liberal Arts Quadrangle, Drumheller Fountain, Sylvan Grove and more.

Please note that demonstrated interest, as shown by attending any campus event, is not a factor in admission to the UW.

The University of Washington Campus Visit Program is unable to provide mobility assistance of any kind for campus tours. However, a tour route without stairs is available. Find mobility resources outside the University.
