Schools are not offering in-person tours because of coronavirus, but many offer virtual tours. This post is a compilation of the tours we know about right now. Feel free to let us know about resources that we haven’t included just yet.
The alphabetical list of the virtual tours we know about so far:
Helpful list, hoping others can add some additional schools
Thanks
Appalachian State is doing their 4/18 open house virtually now.
@BmacNJ Thanks! I do have an updated list and will add more schools soon. Realistically, every school is going to need to find a solution to this problem, so the list is likely to grow.
I believe Union College - NY is doing their tours virtually now too
Connecticut College has a google street view picture tour of their campus
UCSB has one of those virtual tours and also has a lot of seminars (some were yesterday) with additional ones scheduled for next Wednesday.
Furman has set up virtual tours. https://admission.furman.edu/portal/visit
Denison has added a new fifteen-minute video tour and webinars.
Took virtual tour and admissions session with University of Delaware today.
Was about an hour and 20 minutes. Admission rep spoke for about 20-25 minutes while showing several slides (not many). Then 2 student ambassadors took over and gave a decent information session under the circumstances. During the entire presentation, a chat box was open for questions/answers. There were about 55 participants in total.
I understand this is the new temporary normal, but these virtual tours do no justice for the colleges or perspective students.
Bloomsburg University - http://msit.bloomu.edu/mf76924/sampleVR/
UCONN virtual tour was terrible and thats being nice. I feel for some of these colleges as this is bread/butter time.
Anyone know anything about UT Austin?
We did a virtual tour of OSU today and signed up for Penn State as well. Something is better than nothing!
Thanks for the info
You can also work backwards from the VR tour company sites to find lots of tours at once. For example:
