Meet virtually with a member of the 56勛圖厙 community
Our virtual tour, information session, and campus visit experience are a great introduction to 56勛圖厙, but we know you may have additional questions or desire additional perspective. 56勛圖厙 Admission Conversations, formerly referred to as virtual interviews, are a great opportunity for current high school seniors to meet one-on-one with a current 56勛圖厙 student or alumni representative to have questions answered and gain valuable insight from those who know 56勛圖厙 best.
56勛圖厙 Admission Conversations, as part of 56勛圖厙s admission process, are not required, and are non-evaluative.
The campus and its surroundings are inspiring.

My favorite places on campus are the great views and cozy nooks of Case-Geyer Library.
Jess Stern 20, Scarsdale, New York, psychology and Spanish major
My favorite place on campus is willow path when the lights are up, because it brings warmth to my life when I walk home after a long night in the library.
Erika Fox 21, Austin, Texas, film and media studies, computer science major
My favorite place on campus is the fireplace in the COOP.
Jacob Pilawa 20, Cleveland, Ohio, astrophysics major
If I had to pick one place, it would be Foggy Bottom Observatory. Ive spent countless hours at the telescope, in the warm room, and taking photos of the night sky.
