About Group Walking Tours

UT Dallas group walking tours are specifically designed for middle school, high school and community college groups of 10-50 guests and offer an introduction to UT Dallas. During the tour, student representatives will introduce several aspects of college life at UT Dallas, including the University's history, traditions, academic offerings and student life.
