Visit & Engage

On-campus tours and information sessions can be scheduled online. The number of daily visitors is capped, and arrival times are staggered to ensure an optimal campus visit experience.

An interview will not only provide us with a strong sense of your personal strengths and interests that may not be obvious in an application, it will also give you a chance to ask questions and learn more about Hamilton in a personal setting.

Take a Hamilton College campus tour right from your sofa! Hosted via Zoom, your personal student tour guide will explore campus with you - walking through classroom buildings, athletics facilities, arts facilities, the dining hall, and more! And best of all, you’ll be able to ask questions and interact with them as they make their way across our campus.

Join us for one of two Saturdays this fall where you will have a chance to explore our campus and community, and experience our open curriculum and talented professors. The day will include an information session, campus tour, community panel, lunch, and an opportunity to sit in on a mock class.

Video information sessions are held once per month, on select Wednesdays. Led by an admission dean, these 30 minute sessions provide an opportunity to learn more about the College, explore Hamilton’s Promise, and have your questions answered.

Want to explore campus on your own? Our Virtual Tour has what you need to experience Hamilton at your pace. With over 20 stops, 360-degree views of campus, and videos to provide more details, our Virtual Tour is a great way to learn more about us. No registration required, and you can take the virtual tour on your PC, tablet, or smartphone.

When classes are in session, prospective students who are visitors of the Admission Office are generally welcome to sit in on classes. We encourage you to arrive five to ten minutes before the class begins to introduce yourself to the professor and to make sure the content for that day is appropriate (not an exam day, etc.).

From exploring our community to details about the application and financial aid process, you’ll hear from Admission Officers, students, faculty, and other Hamilton community members in these online sessions throughout the summer and fall.

We realize the important guidance that parents and families provide throughout the college admission process. Hamilton offers several virtual events each year for parents and families of prospective students. Pre-registration for these events is required.
