We are excited to welcome you soon!
Explore our beautiful campus for an in-person guided group tour with one of our current students, designed with future undergrads in mind—because nobody knows the ins and outs of Dal quite like they do.
Join us on campus and see firsthand why Dal could be just right for you.Residence Availability during Move In Season
Please be aware that during the months of August and September, residence rooms and dining halls will be inaccessible as our students head into move in season. Campus tours are not permitted to enter during this time to ensure a smooth transition for our new students moving into campus.
Our Welcome Center features a mock showroom that will be featured during your tour, and we are happy to answer any residence-specific questions during your post tour talk. If seeing residence is a priority, we would recommend booking your tour in October or November. Thank you for your understanding!
Self Guided Tour
Want to get a feel for campus on your own schedule, or unable to join us for a guided tour? Our self-guided campus tours are the perfect way to experience Dalhousie University at your own pace. You’ll discover key spots across campus, from academic buildings and residence halls to hidden student hangouts. Follow along with our self-guided podcast tour, narrated by current students sharing their experiences, favourite spots, and tips for making the most of your visit.
Virtual Tours
Can’t make it to campus just yet? Our virtual tours let you explore Dalhousie University and the vibrant city of Halifax from wherever you are. Through immersive 360° views and guided videos, you’ll see classrooms, labs, residences, and student spaces—plus get a taste of life in our oceanfront city. Take a stroll along Halifax’s famous waterfront, discover local neighbourhoods, and see why so many students choose to study and live here. It’s the next best thing to being here in person.
Group Visits
Planning a visit for your class, community group, or organization? Our group campus tours offer a tailored experience for larger parties who want to explore Dalhousie together. Led by a current student, you’ll get an insider’s look at our campuses, including academic spaces, student hubs, and must-see campus landmarks. We’ll customize the route and content to match your group’s interests—so everyone leaves with a true feel for what makes Dalhousie unique.
Residence Tours
Get a firsthand look at what life in residence is really like. Standard campus tours include a visit to a current students dorm room, outside of move in/exam periods. Or, our virtual residence tours take you deep inside Dalhousie’s student housing so you can explore rooms, common spaces, and amenities. Whether you’re curious about traditional dorms, suite-style living, or our residence communities, you’ll see where friendships are made, study sessions happen, and campus life comes alive. It’s the perfect way to picture yourself living steps away from classes, dining, and student activities.
