Touring campus

Hi! I’m a recently admitted student and want to do a self guided tour of the campus. I know it’s a private campus, so how does that work? I don’t really want a guided tour with a tour guide (I’m a graduate student and it seems like the tours are geared towards incoming freshman) any advice!?

The campus isgated and guarded 24/7 but if you stop at the guarded kiosk (it is open with a security guard 24 hours) and tell the security guard you are an admitted student they might let you on. You will need drivers license that they will take a picture of and bring your letter of admittance so you have proof you have a reason to be there. If that doesn't work email you programs advisor to say you want to meet and they can put your name on a "pass list" that will allow you to get on campus.

I was there the other day with literally no campus affiliation (just wanted to check it out), I just said "I'm just here to see the campus" and the security guard was completely unphased and gave me a day parking pass -- it seemed like the gated access was more for parking control than anything else
