We invite you to visit Lawrence and experience the students, the faculty, and the feel of the place in person. To ensure the best visit experience, please be sure to give us plenty of lead time to schedule and arrange your visit. (Given the volume of visits, two-week advance notice is extremely helpful... and appreciated. Please note below where two-week advance notice is required.)
Options during an individual visit
Campus tour: Led by a current Lawrence student, our 75-minute walking tours generally depart the admissions office at the following times during the academic year:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 9:50, 11:10, 1:50, 3:10
Tuesday and Thursday: 9:50, 11:10, 2:30
Saturdays: 9:45, 10:45
Residence hall tour: We have so much nifty stuff to show you on the campus tour that we offer separate 30-minute tours of one of our residence halls. Tours depart the admissions office at the following times during the academic year:
Weekdays: 12:00, 1:20
Saturdays: 12:00
Interview: Although we don't require them for admission, interviews are mutually beneficial ways for students and the admissions office to explore how Lawrence may fit with students' talents and aspirations. We'll schedule your interview around your tour times.
Sit in on classes: A wide variety of classes are offered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, making these great days for you to visit. Students interested in music may be able to attend ensemble rehearsals. Lawrence does not offer classes in the summer.
Eat a meal: You've heard the reviews, now experience the magic of Lawrence's dining for yourself. We can arrange for you and your family to eat lunch in the Warch Campus Center with current students. If you are staying overnight on campus, we will provide you with additional meal passes.
Meet with faculty or coaches (two-week notice required): We're happy to make appointments for you to meet with a faculty member or coach. We are unable to arrange such meetings during the summer, term breaks or on weekends.
Music lesson or observation (two-week notice required) : Music lessons and observations are scheduled through the admissions office. Please do not contact faculty directly. Due to high demand on visit days, students interested in majoring in music may observe the lesson of a current Lawrence student. If you would like a lesson with a faculty member on your primary instrument, please use our individual visit registration form or call our visit coordinator at 800-448-3072 to schedule your individual visit. If you are a junior in high school, please note that we give preference to high school seniors who are finalizing their college decisions.
Stay overnight (two-week notice required): We invite (and encourage) high school seniors to stay overnight on campus, and are happy to arrange for a one-night stay in a residence hall. This option is available Sunday through Thursday nights during the academic year. We do not offer overnight visits during exam weeks, term breaks, or on Friday or Saturday nights. Note: In the month of April we offer overnight visits only to admitted students.
Please look at our visit calendar, where you can check our availability on the date(s) you would like to visit. Then use our online registration form or call our visit coordinator (800-448-3072) to let us know when you'll be coming!
