Can family and friends come along too?

We know you'll be seeking the advice and guidance of your family when making your decision, but we want to ensure all prospective students have the opportunity to visit the campus. Therefore, our campus tours are currently limited to a maximum of two guests per prospective student.

Can I attend by myself if I’m under 18 years old?

If you are under 18, you must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
