If you can't make it to one of our scheduled on-campus visits, we invite you to tour our campus on your own! Our self-guided tour allows you to tour Olin's campus any time you want and at your own pace with the free Guidebook App. Using the App as your guide, you'll be led through campus and will listen to voice-over narrations from current Olin students at 12 different stops on campus.
The tour takes approximately 30 minutes to complete if you listen to the audio at each stop, but you are welcome to explore campus for as long as you'd like. The walking portion of the tour is about 0.5 miles. The entire route is outdoors, and you will not go inside any campus facilities.
If you have time, take the Babson mini campus tour (included in the App) to see the places Oliners frequent the most on Babson's campus!
Instructions on how to download the free Guidebook App and access the tour will be sent via email once you submit your registration.

MIX & Mingle Fly-In
Co-sponsored by the Olin College Office of Admission & Financial Aid and The MIX (Multicultural Innovators eXperience)
Each fall, Olin College offers prospective students the opportunity to attend a Fly-In visit to Olin. We invite counselors to nominate high school seniors with strong potential for Olin's collaborative, project-based engineering curriculum. For students who would not otherwise have the financial resources to visit our campus, we will be covering all costs for their visit.
The MIX & Mingle Fly-In program is limited to high school seniors and students who for other reasons are planning to enter college in Fall 2025. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate nominations for international students at this time.
The MIX & Mingle Fly-In program will be held in-person from November 10-11 at Olin's campus in Needham, MA. The form to nominate a student for this program can be found here. We do not accept self-nominations from students.
Please contact Jenna Green with any questions.
