EnglishHow to Visit or Tour UW-Green Bay
Updated
You can visit UW-Green Bay in person or online. The university's homepage offers a virtual tour, a campus tour sign-up, and separate visit pages for its Green Bay, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan campuses. The page also suggests using the campus calendar to plan around events, and it points to student stories if you want a feel for campus life before you go.
Tour options listed on the site
| Option | What the page says | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual tour | "Take a virtual tour" — the site says you'll know UW-Green Bay is right for you the first time you take a tour, "even online" | Checking out campus from a distance before committing to a trip |
| Campus tour | "Somewhere during the campus tour, you'll know Green Bay is right for you." A "Take a Tour" link and a "Schedule a Visit" link are both provided | Prospective students deciding whether to apply or enroll |
| Campus-specific visits | Separate "Visit Green Bay," "Visit Manitowoc," and "Visit Sheboygan" links | Choosing which of the three campuses fits you |
Step by step
- Decide between virtual and in-person. Start with the virtual tour if you're early in your search or can't travel. Use the in-person tour once you're seriously considering applying or enrolling.
- Pick your campus. UW-Green Bay lists three locations: Green Bay (described as a park-like bayside campus), Manitowoc (on the shores of Lake Michigan), and Sheboygan. Each has its own visit page, so choose the one you'd actually attend.
- Schedule through the visit links. The homepage provides "Schedule a Visit" and "Take a Tour" entry points; follow those rather than trying to arrange a tour by email.
- Check the campus calendar first. The "Campus Calendar" link helps you avoid clashing with breaks or catch events worth attending on the same day.
- Confirm what the tour covers. The page mentions private suites with bathrooms and warm passageways between most buildings as reasons to choose the Green Bay campus — worth asking about on the tour if on-campus housing matters to you.
What to expect from campus life
The site frames the visit as a way to test fit, and it backs that up with student profiles. Grace Holschuh '26, a psychology student, says volleyball brought her to campus but "the academic opportunities are what made me stay," citing research and mentorship. Jake Hoffman, a new graduate, found a new direction through the Organizational Leadership program. Reading a few of these "Success Stories" before your tour gives you specific questions to ask.
The page also stresses that the university welcomes first-year, transfer, returning, part-time, online, commuting, and on-campus students — so say which category you're in when you book, and ask for a tour track that matches.
Common snags
- Booking the wrong campus. The three locations are distinct; a Green Bay tour won't tell you much about Manitowoc or Sheboygan.
- Skipping the calendar. Tour slots and campus events can overlap with academic breaks, so check dates before you travel.
- Assuming the virtual tour replaces a visit. The site presents it as a first look ("even online"), not a substitute for seeing the campus in person.
If you're still deciding whether to apply at all, the homepage's three-step application walkthrough and its financial aid note (82% of first-year students receive aid) are the next pages to read after your tour.
