Visit CALS

  • Cornell Campus

    CALS is proud to be the flagship land grant college at Cornell.

Visit CALS

Choosing a college or university is a big decision that cannot be left entirely to facts and figures. Prospective students are encouraged to visit and explore Cornell University’s beautiful campus in order to ensure that the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is truly the perfect fit.

Please Note: The best time to visit is during the summer or fall before you apply.

Once you have scheduled a visit, see Arriving on Campus to find information on travel to Ithaca and navigating the campus.

Visitor Programs for Students & Families

Information Session

Hear first-hand what to expect from a current CALS student, and receive helpful information about admissions and the CALS academic experience from an Admissions representative. Since Admissions representatives are not available for individual meetings, this session is a great opportunity to have all of your questions answered. Sign up online

Tours

A student will lead you on a walking tour of campus where you will see everything from the Clock Tower to Mann Library. The tour should provide a good sense of the campus, and student tour guides will give you the inside information on Cornell life. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. Learn More

Overnight Hosting

Each year, hundreds of prospective students are hosted by the Red Carpet Society. Although there is no formal schedule for Red Carpet guests to follow, the visit represents the perfect opportunity to experience student life by attending a class or two, sampling the cuisine at Cornell's award-winning dining facilities, and engaging with the campus community.
