Reading the cards: minutes are our estimates from map distance, so they say "about". Breakfast, suites and kitchens are what each hotel brand promises across its hotels, not something we checked room by room. The places listed under a hotel are the closest ones within roughly a 10-minute walk of its door.

Graduation weekend at Kalamazoo College

We haven't yet confirmed the ceremony venue for Kalamazoo College from its own commencement page, so the walk times here run to the tour start only.

Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.

Worth doing before you book

Kalamazoo College gear for the ride home

A hat for the tour, a hoodie for the acceptance letter, a frame for the far end of it all. Each button runs an Amazon search for that item with the school's name filled in.

Tour Day Hotels is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kalamazoo College or any other college. The gear is sold by Amazon and its sellers, not by us and not by the school; if licensed merchandise matters to you, look for that on the listing. We show no prices because they change by the hour.
