Full description
Begin at the heart of Yale’s historic campus—the Old Campus—where landmark buildings such as Connecticut Hall and Battell Chapel reveal the university’s colonial origins. Gaze upon the striking Harkness Tower as it rises above the campus skyline, its bells echoing across courtyards that have shaped generations of scholars.

See the Sterling Memorial Library, a breathtaking cathedral-like space that stands as the symbolic center of Yale’s academic spirit, and the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, a modernist marvel housing priceless literary treasures. Walk past the Yale Center for British Art and the Yale University Art Gallery, both reflecting the university’s deep commitment to the arts.

Along the way, hear personal anecdotes from student guides about residential college life, unique Yale traditions like the “Bladderball” or “The Game,” and the university’s role in producing world leaders, Nobel laureates, and influential thinkers.
