The campus is beautiful and architecture of each building is amazing. The Widener Library is world renowned and if you get a chance to peak inside Annenberg (the dining hall) looks like hogwarts.

This was absolutely dreadful. Terrible guide talking by lawnmowers and heavy traffic, only went in hallway of one building. Been to 4 campuses, this tour was worst and useless.

Guide didn't have much personality. Some interesting anecdotes (i.e. "statue of three lies" - but don't rub the toe!). For a better tour, go to the information office in the Holyoake Center and get a Crimson Key tour.

Very informative and funny guy. We went in a dorm, which was good sized IMO. Cool architecture. Large campus, but undergrad stuff fairly concentrated. Guy told about getting hopelessly lost in Widener, and how his freshman seminar class got to look fo

Really disappointing - we weren't able to enter any of the buildings, including Widener Library.
