Tours are outdoors and last about an hour and 30 minutes, so wear your walking shoes and dress for the Texas weather! After the tour, you will have an information session to provide students with an overview of the admission process.
Campus Tours
When you get here, you'll feel it. It's more than the breathtaking beauty of our campus. It's the energy of our people and the excitement they generate. Our student tour guides will show you the heart of campus. They'll share their experiences as Bobcats and insights about all things that make Texas State special.
