Taking a student-led campus tour is one of the best ways to discover what Holy Cross is all about. Our guides know every corner of our campus, and they’ll give you the lowdown on what it’s like to live and study here. After all, for many guides, the tour was an eye-opening part of their college search process. They’ll make sure it’s just as valuable for you.
Campus Visits Suspended
Holy Cross has moved to online classes and suspended all campus visits indefinitely due to the outbreak of COVID-19. We will update our website as soon as visit opportunities become available again.

Student-Guided Tours
During the one-hour tour of campus, our welcoming tour guides cover a lot of ground — physically and intellectually — traversing The Hill and touching on topics ranging from declaring a major to their favorite meals served in Kimball. But the greatest advantage to having a student guide is the chance to get the inside scoop from someone who’s living the Holy Cross experience.
Tours depart from the Admission Office located in Fenwick Hall, where visitors sign in before the tour departs.

If the campus tour helps you get a feel for what Holy Cross is like, the information session fills in the details.
