>> Student-Hosted Day Visit - October only
A student-hosted day visit is an opportunity to experience a day in the life of an Olin student. You'll accompany your host to classes and activities, eat in the Dining Hall, and meet members of the Olin community! A hosted visit helps you experience Olin first-hand from the student perspective. Hosted visits are limited to students planning to enroll in college in Fall 2025. Register today!
Group Visit
If you are looking to visit Olin with a group, please fill out this form. Group visits typically include a one-hour student-led tour, but can be tailored to the group if resources allow. Our tour seasons are September through November, March through May, and June through August. We may not be able to accommodate a group visit outside of these times.
Live Virtual Tour
Join an Olin student for a 60-minute live and interactive tour experience. Learn about the student experience through personal anecdotes, photos, and videos. Experience Olin's campus, community, and culture through an Oliner's point of view.
Fall 2024 Live Virtual Tours will be held on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 - 8:00 PM, from September through November. Register for one here.
If you can't make it to one of our scheduled on-campus visits, we invite you to tour our campus on your own! Our self-guided tour allows you to tour Olin's campus any time you want and at your own pace with the free Guidebook App. Using the App as your guide, you'll be led through campus and will listen to voice-over narrations from current Olin students at 12 different stops on campus.
The tour takes approximately 30 minutes to complete if you listen to the audio at each stop, but you are welcome to explore campus for as long as you'd like. The walking portion of the tour is about 0.5 miles. The entire route is outdoors, and you will not go inside any campus facilities.
If you have time, take the Babson mini campus tour (included in the App) to see the places Oliners frequent the most on Babson's campus!
Instructions on how to download the free Guidebook App and access the tour will be sent via email once you submit your registration.
