Connect with All Kinds of Tartans
Engage with us on campus or wherever you are in the world.
We get it. One of the best things about a campus visit is meeting new people in-person and that's just not always possible. That's why we also offer online opportunities for you to meet up with other Tartans including students, faculty and admission staff.
Visit Us in Person
Interested in a student-led campus tour? Want to learn about some campus lore? Join us for coffee with the deans, and as you plan your visit to campus, check out other available events just for you, including college and department information sessions and office hours opportunities.
Register for an In-Person Visit
In-person visit registration is limited this year due to capacity limits. We encourage you to take advantage of our virtual visit opportunities!
Visit Us Online
Can't make it to campus or looking to enhance your in-person visit? We're here for you. Explore our undergraduate programs, zoom into a campus life session or connect with Tartan Ambassadors through virtual tours of campus or first-year residence halls and opportunities for smaller group connections. See a calendar of our upcoming events(opens in new window).

Serious Fun for the Playful Kind
Fill in the Blanks
Scotty stays busy, and he's hoping you can help finish his stories by completing a few Tartan-themed Mad Libs. First, Scotty finds himself dreaming about the fun of Carnival. Then, Scotty walks through a day in the life of a Carnegie Mellon student.
Flex your creativity and vocabulary to make Scotty's adventures extra interesting.

Try a Fresh Coat
Painting the Fence is one of Carnegie Mellon's most beloved traditions. The Fence sits in the middle of campus and acts as a billboard for student groups. Traditionally, the Fence must only be painted between midnight and sunrise, in its entirety, using only paintbrushes. Want to keep the message up longer? Two students keep watch around the clock or they risk another group staking their claim!
However — you can get a virtual head start on our campus tradition right here!
Break a Sweat
Get a jump-start on one of your Carnegie Mellon student perks — free Group X workout classes. Our Group X program offers aerobics-based and strength training exercise classes to the entire CMU community, including fitness programs such as Zumba, high intensity interval training (HIIT), indoor cycling, yoga, kickboxing, dance and more.
Design Your Own Buggy
Get in on the fun of Buggy and get creative by designing your very own.
Who knows? Maybe you'll be racing one in person this time next year!
