Great tour, lots of campus history. - Loved this tour, it’s lead by students which is really cool; you get to hear about student life from the people that actually attend. We learned so much about the campus it was amazing. We also saw Conan O’Brien when we were there which was also an added bonus.

Great Tourguide, but no possibility to enter any building - The Guide Eric was great and deserved five stars for sure! But it was a bit disappointed that we could not enter any building. We visited MIT Tour also which is much more impressive as you actual can see the science.
