Self-Guided Tour

Welcome to the West Virginia University self-guided tour! Whether you're visiting campus on the weekend, prefer to explore solo, or live too far away to visit us in person, our self-guided tour gives you a comprehensive look at our beautiful campus and the key buildings in which you'll eat, sleep and study.

You can take the tour on a web-browser or by downloading the Campus VisiTOUR app for Android or iPhone. Either way, start your visit here!

If visiting Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., we encourage guests to first stop in one of our Visitors Centers to get a self-guided tour map and parking permit for on-campus parking. Parking is free after 5:00 p.m. and on weekends. While at the Visitors Center, you can also talk with a current student tour leader and have admissions questions answered. 

Alternatively, you can grab a self-guided tour map from the blue kiosks located around campus. Find one outside of the Evansdale Crossing, Evansdale Library, Mountainlair Student Union, Health Sciences PRT platform and One Waterfront Place. You can also print one ahead of your visit using the PDF link below.

There are pre-made tours that allow you to explore various areas of campus, or you can opt to create a personalized tour based on your interests. A comprehensive campus tour usually takes about two hours to complete.


Please note that while the self-guided tours will show you the location of residence halls, you will not be able to access the living spaces and rooms for any hall.
