Self-guided Campus Tour

You've found the companion website for Bucknell University's Self-guided Tour. The audio narration below is designed to be enjoyed alongside the Self-guided Tour booklet available at our Office of Admissions.

If you're on campus and would like to pick up the booklet, stop by Freas Hall on Dent Drive and request a copy at the Office of Admissions front desk. If the office is closed, booklets can be found just inside the vestibule to Freas Hall. You can also find a digital version of the booklet below.

We hope you enjoy this self-guided tour, which we see as the perfect metaphor for the Bucknell experience. We give you the tools and the support you need to explore whatever interests you most.
