Wake Forest University Virtual Tour

Are you applying to wake forest university explore the campus using the virtual tour below..

Virtual tours are a great way to refresh your memory or to preview an on-site tour of Wake Forest University.

Do I Really Need to Take a Tour?

At the beginning of your college search, a virtual tour can be a beneficial tool to explore the campus before your visit. When you do visit the campus, be sure to talk to current students about their experiences. A student perspective is a helpful way to gauge your future experience when attending Wake Forest University. Already took an on-campus tour? It's inevitable. All of your college tours will blend, and you might forget the appearance of Wake Forest University's library, dorms, or cafeteria. Use the virtual tour to jog your memory! With the interactive mapping tool below you can even explore the area surrounding the campus.

Use the resources below to start your virtual tour.

Using the Map

Click and drag the little orange person to a location on the map. Locations with panoramas appear as blue lines or blue dots when moving the orange person. The blue dots are panoramic views that you may swivel. The blue lines are paths that you can navigate along.

Panoramic View

You can "pan" or "swivel" the camera around by clicking on the image and dragging your mouse or finger. If you see a white arrow on the picture, you can click or tap on it to move in the direction of the arrow. This will also update the location of the little orange person on the map so you can get a better sense of where you are and what direction you are facing.

Campus Dining

Summer Immersion Program participants have all meals provided for them during their 5 day on-campus stay. If accepted, upon registering students should fill out the dietary restrictions form in their student portal to ensure they receive the correct meals during programming.

Students enjoy meals from the Wake Forest University dining hall, The Pit , located close to the dorms. The Pit offers fresh fruits and vegetables and features various cuisine stations, including an allergen friendly station, a made-to-order sandwich station, omelette station, black and gold grill, and much more.

For institutes that require catered meals due to field-trips or off-campus programming, meals will be provided from a local catering restaurant and ordered accordingly to dietary restrictions.

Campus Dorms

Summer Immersion Program participants must stay overnight on campus during their Wake Forest Pre-College campus program.

Students should check-in to their assigned residence hall on the Sunday of their institute week between 3:00 – 5:00 pm EST. Programming runs from 8:00 – 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday with additional evening activities and scheduled free time. Check-out is at noon on Friday. Examples of daily schedules found on individual institute pages .

Roommates assigned randomly unless a request is granted. Roommate requests can be made if both students have been accepted into the Summer Immersion Program and are registered for institutes taking place on the same dates.

Please email  [email protected]  before April 1, 2024 to request a specific roommate or other living accommodation. Please note, not all roommate requests are guaranteed.

Evening Activities

Program participants have a daily window of time to eat dinner and to enjoy the freedom of exploring campus, hanging out with friends, or working on independent projects.

Scheduled evening activities begin at 7:00 p.m. and are led by program staff. Activities may vary throughout the summer. Examples of activities include: basketball, s’mores, karaoke, Spikeball, and volleyball. Each evening, program staff also offers an optional panel or workshop on a popular topic such as Study Abroad and Greek Life.

Wake Forest Pre-College Campus Supervision

Participants will be in the presence of Summer Immersion Program staff at all times, including recreational and evening activities. A team of carefully selected Program Ambassadors, Resident Assistants (RAs), and professional staff members support student participants. This team oversees the safety of all students. Staff serve in an on-call rotation 24 hours a day, throughout the week while the program is in session. Professional staff and RAs live in the residence hall with students to provide overnight supervision throughout programming. In case of an emergency on campus, the Wake Forest University Police Department is available 24/7.

Welcome to Wake Forest University! Important Dates and Details

Monday, March 4, 2024

Dear students,

We are so thrilled you will be joining us as a member of the Class of 2028! Please allow us to introduce ourselves: we are  Dr. Cherise James , ​Director of Orientation, New Student and Transition Programs, and  Dr. Betsy Chapman  (‘92, MA ‘94), Executive Director of Family Communications. In her work with student Orientation programming, Dr. James will be in touch with you throughout the spring and summer. In her role with family communications, Dr. Chapman will be sharing messages directly with your parents and families from this point until you graduate. 

We wanted to send this initial message to the personal email address you included on your admissions application so that this important information would not be missed as you prepare to join us in Fall 2024. However, please note that  all subsequent emails will be sent to your WFU email address.

Early Decision website and New Students website

We are excited to share our newly created  Early Decision website  to keep you informed prior to the  May 1st  launch of our official Class of 2028  New Students website .  You should note that the New Students website is being updated as we speak, so the information and dates currently on the website are for the Class of 2027.  Some members of our incoming class have found it helpful to get a sense of what their summer might look like as they graduate from high school and prepare for their entry into the Wake Forest community!  But please be aware that dates currently on that site are from  last summer .

Move-In Dates

We also want to share some important tentative  Move-In dates  with you:

• Information about all these Pre-Orientation experiences will be communicated to you via email in the next 2-3 weeks.  We ask that you delay finalizing your travel plans until you have considered Pre-Orientation experiences  and have final communication from Residence Life and Housing about your  approved  move-in date.  The Pre-Orientation registration process will launch on May 1st  and will be available at  newstudents.wfu.edu .
• International students  must  arrive on Saturday, August 17 between 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. EST  See “Important Message for International Students” later in this message.
• New and transfer students  not  participating in Pre-Orientation programs will move in Wednesday, August 21st.  Check-In and Move-In Assistance will be available from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Note: All students must be moved in by 1 p.m. 
• Other students may be approved to move in earlier, such as student-athletes. If you are approved for early move-in, instructions, including your move-in date, will be sent to you later this summer from the  Office of Residence Life and Housing .  

Orientation Dates:

• There will also be a  mandatory online Orientation  for all incoming students to  complete during the summer.  Information about the online Orientation will be made available to you after July 1. There will also be in-person Orientation events for students beginning on August 21 through the first day of classes on August 26. 
• August 21-22: Orientation for Parents and Families.  We will have some in-person Orientation activities for parents and families on the evening of  Wednesday, August 21st  through the evening of  Thursday, August 22nd . Families should plan to depart late Thursday night or Friday morning, as students will be involved in their own Orientation programming.  While parent and family Orientation sessions are not mandatory, we strongly encourage attendance if your family’s schedule allows.  Information about all these sessions will be available closer to July.
• August 26: First Day of Classes  (i.e., FDOC) 
• September 27-29: Family Weekend.  Family Weekend is planned and facilitated by the Division of Campus Life. The weekend is scheduled in conjunction with our football game against Louisiana; more information about Family Weekend will be available in early summer at  https://familyweekend.wfu.edu/ . Your family may wish to begin securing their lodging for Family Weekend now.

Important Message for International Students: 

• ISS will communicate details regarding visa status and the Connect@Wake schedule of activities to new international students through their WFU email account. Additional information will be added to the  Connect@Wake website  throughout the spring semester.  International students should reach out to ISS ( [email protected] ) regarding any questions, and please continue to monitor their ISSDeacs account for updates. For now, international students need to take action in the ISSDeacs system to request an I-20 or DS-2019. The ISS team looks forward to welcoming our new class of Demon Deacons to campus.

A few important announcements to put on your radar:

• More information to come in May:  When the New Students website launches for the  Class of 2028  on  May 1st , it will give a comprehensive look at what you will need to do over the summer to be ready to start classes in the fall. In May, you will also begin receiving email communications from Dr. James with key information, due dates, action items, and more.
• Workday:  In March, once you have your Wake Forest email address, you will be prompted to complete some of your new student onboarding steps through a platform called  Workday.  This is also the system you will use later in the summer to register for your fall courses. While some forms will be available through Workday, please reference the New Student website after it launches May 1st to find the most up to date checklist and timeline. 
• New Student Receptions:  This summer, a series of virtual and in-person receptions for new students and their families will be held across the country. We hope that every incoming family will join us at the virtual reception and that you’ll also register for a local reception should one be offered in your area. Please check the  New Student Receptions  page on May 1st for a list of events and to register. Note that events will be added throughout June, so check the website frequently for additions.
• Parent and Family Communications:  So that we are certain we have correct contact information for your family (to reach them in an emergency, to send important Wake Forest news, or to send information about Wake Forest events in their home area),  we need each parent or guardian to log into our family record system, Wake Network, to verify your family record. Your family can find instructions on how to do this  here .

Finally, a reminder about the calendar: Use a pencil, not a pen. 

If we learned anything in the past several years, it’s been the importance of flexibility. Dates in emails and on websites are accurate at the time of publication, but the University will adapt to any changing conditions if needed. It will be important to keep checking your WFU email (starting now) and the New Students website (starting May 1st) so you have the most up-to-date information.

This is an exciting time for students and families alike, and we look forward to getting to know you better during your time at Wake Forest. If you have questions or need additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact our offices.

With best wishes,

Cherise James, Ph.D. ​Director of Orientation, New Student and Transitions Programs Betsy Chapman, Ph.D. (‘92, MA ‘94) Executive Director of Family Communications

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
