Campus Tours - Frequently Asked Questions

The Campus Tour will be a walking tour and will take approximately an hour. We will be able to show you the location of academic departments*, some on-campus facilities, and a selection of accommodation options. This is a great opportunity to get a feel for the University location and surrounding area.
