AUSTINIt’s hard to find a place more alive than Austin. Economic growth and endless opportunity, diverse and eclectic cultures, and a laid-back lifestyle and hip music scene are just a few reasons Austin repeatedly tops “best of” lists. Austin is a big city with a small-town feel. Home to an educated, tech-savvy population, Austin is the headquarters of industry leaders such as Whole Foods Market, Dell, National Instruments, Sweet Leaf Tea and Freescale Semiconductor.

CAMPUS TOURSLet a current student show you around the hilltop for a firsthand perspective of life on campus. You can also schedule a meeting with an admission counselor to get your questions answered and help us get to know you. Tours and counselor meetings are available on weekdays. If weekends are your only option, join us during a Saturday Open House.

SENIOR VISIT DAY Experience life as a Hilltopper. Tour campus, meet our community and learn more about the admission process. This visit is an ideal way for high school seniors to get a sense of St. Edward’s. Reservations, which are required, open six weeks before the program date of Nov. 7.

ADMISSION OPEN HOUSEDuring our Open House events, we offer a day full of campus tours, information sessions and tours of the residence halls. You can pick the activities and times that work best for you. Reservations are required. Fall 2015 dates: Oct. 2, Oct. 12, Nov. 13 and Nov. 21; Spring 2016 dates: March 11–22 (spring break), April 9, April 16 and April 23

INDIVIDUAL VISITSIf you can’t make Senior Visit Day on Nov. 7, we can set up a similar solo experience for you. Attend a class, meet with a professor, eat in the dining hall and spend time with a current student. Please schedule your visit at least three weeks in advance. (Individual visits are for high school seniors.)

The best way to get to know St. Edward’s is to come see it (and Austin!) for yourself. All campus visit programs are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
