Experience Cairn

You applied to Cairn—that’s great!—but maybe you haven’t been on campus yet. Or maybe you already visited, but you still have some questions about what it’s like to be a student here. Whatever the case, we would love to invite you to get (another) firsthand look at the Cairn University experience. 

Take a campus tour, sit in on a class, enjoy a meal in the dining commons, meet with faculty and staff, and get answers to your enrollment and financial aid questions.

Stop wondering what it’s like to be a part of the Cairn community—schedule your visit today and find out for yourself!
