Visit Campus

Overview | Daily Campus Visit Program | Chicago Booth Live | Directions to Campus | Lodging

We welcome prospective MBA students to visit Chicago Booth and experience our unique and vibrant community. We offer several visit programs to give you a glimpse of academic and student life on campus. You can either spend a day at Chicago Booth or you can participate in the extended visit program.

• Daily Campus Visit Program: An informal half-day program. Sit in on a class, attend an admissions information session, get a tour of Charles M. Harper Center, and have lunch with current students.
• Lunch with Student Groups: Select student groups host informal, monthly lunches for prospective students. These lunches complement the Daily Campus Visit Program, and registrants will be able to attend the other activities of the program.
• Chicago Booth Live: Special full-day events on select Fridays throughout the year that are designed to give visitors a more in-depth perspective of life as a Chicago Booth student. Prospective students will have the opportunity to interact with current students in various settings, engage with our faculty in the classroom, and unwind with new friends at our informal reception called the "Liquidity Preference Function."
• Directions to Campus: Our campus is located just minutes away from downtown Chicago. Visitors can arrive on campus via a cab, bus, or train. Please be advised that parking on campus may be difficult. We ask that visitors allow enough time (30 - 45 minutes) to secure a parking spot. Please note, however, that there are several parking garages available to visitors. 
• Lodging: This guide lists a range of preferred lodging options for visitors in the Chicago area.

Group Visits

Chicago Booth welcomes group visits to our campus. We ask that all visitors have an interest in our MBA program and have the desire to apply to our program. Group visits will typically consist of an information session and tour of Harper Center (if requested). In order to ensure a well coordinated visit, we ask that all group visit requests be made at least one week in advance from the desired visit date.

Groups who would like to visit specific departments or student groups are encouraged to contact those individuals directly to set up a meeting during the day.

Please contact us if you would like to schedule a group visit.

Note: A group visit to Booth does not include a traditional University of Chicago visit. Individuals interested in attending a general University of Chicago information session and tour are encouraged to contact the Undergraduate Office of Admissions at 773.702.8650.

Office of Admissions 

Except for Booth holidays and certain exclusion dates, we are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. year round. An admissions director is available on a walk-in basis.
