Cornell Tours

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm visiting east-coast colleges this week and am interested in visiting Cornell, specifically engineering. However, I am having trouble finding information on the website regarding tour dates and times for the engineering school.
This is what I'm looking at: <a href="http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/explore/visiting-college/index.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/explore/visiting-college/index.cfm&lt;/a>
Am I missing something? Are engineering-specific tours even offered? </p>

<p>Help, please!</p>

<p>Isn't this a strange time to visit? I think most tours are offered closer to when most students apply.</p>

<p>Thanks biophilic... from that page it doesn't seem as if they have engineering-specific tours though... ah well.</p>

<p>juxtaposn: I thought a lot of students toured in the summer, when they had more free time... I'm doing a lot of touring this summer in any case. Then in the fall I'll do overnights at maybe two or three colleges I REALLLLY like, based on the summer tours + web research.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure there are engineering only tours. There was an ILR only tour after the general tour when I went. That was awesommmmme because it was only one other person in the tour (altho engineering is larger than ILR).</p>

<p>Have fun! Since it's Summer the campus will be gorges! Speaking of...visit the gorges! That's the one thing I regret not doing!</p>

<p>They should have an "information session", rather than a walking tour. With ILR, the information session also doubles as a walking tour because we only have one building. But the bigger schools like Engineering and A&S can't do that since they have so many buildings.</p>

<p>there are engineering tours! I am an engineering ambassador, the group that gives the tours and they do try to give regular tours during the summer. I reccommmend calling the engineering admisions office and asking. this site has the exact times: <a href="http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/prospective/undergraduate/visit/index.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/prospective/undergraduate/visit/index.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>If that doesn't work, if you call them, they will often try to arrange someone to give you a personal tour.</p>

<p>Heh, there are plenty of engineers still around, I'm pretty sure you could just corral one to come and give you a tour.</p>
