Audiotur Barnard College Campus Tour

Welcome to the Barnard College audio tour! My name is Mel Wang. I am a rising senior here at Barnard, and I am an international student from the Philippines. My fellow tour guides and I are going to take you across campus and share a little bit about the Barnard experience. You can listen along as you walk through campus, or simply listen from home.

Barnard’s campus generally requires ID swipe access to enter buildings, so our tour will guide you along the path outdoors. The Visitor Center and the first floor of the Diana Center are open to visitors between 9-5, so you’re welcome to check out the Barnard Store and the cafe in the Diana Center while you’re on campus.

Also, there are four crests of Millie the Dancing Bear, our mascot, around campus, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled so you can try and find them. If you need a break at any point, feel free to pause the tour and continue whenever you’re ready. Now, let’s get started!
