<p>I've lived in Minnesota my whole life, and I currently attend another college in Minnesota. I'm a hopeful transfer for fall 2014. I've driven through campus a bunch, but I haven't actually walked around. </p>

<p>Can somebody tell me how tours work with such a big campus? What are some things I should definitely see? How was your experience with the tours? Do they show you the whole campus? Will a tour guide show me all the cool things or are there things I should go look at? I plan on staying in the dorms my first year if that makes any difference.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I toured back in October… there is quite a bit of walking and it was longer than the other college tours I’ve been on due to the size of the campus. The tour was pretty good overall and covered a decent part of the main campus. You will see an actual dorm, some students usually volunteer their rooms for the tour. I would recommend walking around near the football stadium before or after the actual tour; it’s a pretty cool area that you won’t see on the tour.</p>
