Campus Tours

While you’re here, you can also meet with an admission counselor to get answers to your questions and help us get to know you. To schedule an appointment with a counselor, call our office at 512-448-8500 or 800-555-0164.
St. Edward’s is located just minutes from downtown Austin. Wondering how to get to campus and where to stay?

Self-Guided Audio Campus Tour
If your schedule does not allow you to visit campus when guided tours are given, you can take a self-guided audio tour. Our self-guided tour combines a printed map with a narrated walk around campus that you can access from your cell phone. Maps with the phone number and instructions are available in the admission office, at the Ragsdale Center information desk and at the kiosk by the Carriage House. You may also print the map and bring it with you to campus.

Group Tours
We offer guided group tours for high school students from September to April. Tours may be scheduled for 10 a.m. or 1 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Group tour requests should be made at least three weeks in advance. Elementary and middle school groups are welcome to visit campus using our self-guided audio tour (described above). Please call our office at 800-555-0164 for more information about this option.

Stay On Campus
On select dates in June and July, we offer families the chance to stay in the Casitas, a townhouse-style campus residence. Each Casita has five single bedrooms, two bathrooms and a common area (no kitchen). Casitas can be reserved for up to two nights for $55/night. Take a campus tour, meet with an admission counselor and use campus as your home base for exploring Austin. For more information, email Sherri Defesche or call 512-428-1282.
Stay Off Campus
If your family prefers to stay off campus, we recommend the Wyndham Garden Hotel, which offers a St. Edward’s visitor rate of $109 per night, including breakfast for two. The hotel is about a five-minute drive from campus.
