Visits and tours

Tours run at all three physical campuses. Pathify Online has no campus to visit, but its faculty teach at the three that do.

Planning a visit

Choosing which campus to see

Which campus to visit depends on the program rather than on preference. Most undergraduate programs are taught at Riverbend, the arts and environmental programs at Northgate, and nursing and health sciences at Pathify Health.

Students routinely register across campuses within a single term, so seeing one does not commit you to it. Visitors applying to a program taught at Northgate or Pathify Health are usually best served by seeing that campus and Riverbend.

Open House and Visit Day events are scheduled through the fall term and are listed below.

The three campuses you can visit

  • Riverbend

    Main campus · 19,800 students

    The original 1871 site and the largest of the three. Holds four of the eight colleges, the Hollis Main Library, Calderwood Stadium, the Hale Center and the Riverbend Aquatics Center.

I came to the Northgate visit day thinking I would apply to Riverbend. I registered at Northgate and I still take two courses a term at Riverbend anyway, so I ended up with both.
