Campus Visit
Requesting a Campus Visit
At Sewanee: The University of the South we consider visiting campus to be one of the most important factors in your decision to apply and ultimately to join our academic community. We invite you to experience for yourself our unique and picturesque 13,000 acre campus.
Making the Most of Your Visit
We offer a variety of visit opportunities for campus visitors. A typical visit consists of a brief introduction to Sewanee led by a member of the Office of Admission counseling staff, followed by a student-led campus tour lasting about an hour. Following the tour, a staff member will spend some additional time with your group to discuss our challenging academic curriculum and the Sewanee application and financial aid process.
We encourage students and their families to plan to spend a least half a day on campus in order to better take advantage of all that Sewanee has to offer you.
Please arrive at the Office of Admission at 8:30 a.m. for our morning events and 1:30 p.m. for our afternoon events unless your personalized confirmation packet instructs you otherwise. This will allow you time to register and to view our campus DVD.
Sewanee is on Central Standard Time.
