For those who haven't visited.

<p>If you haven't seen your school of choice, use this to catch a bird eye view.
Search for the place and then hit Satellite. You can scroll around with out any new images loading. Its AWESOME.</p>

<p>maps.google.com</p>

<p>or even better, download nasa's worldwind</p>

<p>it wont let my show the pic on here so here is the link for my dream school via worldwind</p>

<p>Who would apply to a school they've never seen? That's really a buyer beware situation, don't you think? lol</p>

<p>you can apply without visiting, its less painful if you dont get accepted</p>

<p>just make sure you visit before you enroll</p>

<p>The answer to your first question is, me. lol
But I studied the school very well off the internet to know what I'm doing.</p>

<p>tks for sharing!!</p>

<p>haha, this is amazing. I go to a videogame forum called point of existence. this thread appeared this morning.</p>

<p>with one user recommend map@google and another user below recommend worldwind.</p>

<p>De javu?</p>

<p>Haha, thats funny.</p>

<p>Its so damn addictive.</p>

<p>wow how did you get such a clear picture w/ the worldwind program. i tried zooming but it's all blurry :(</p>

<p>there is the default large image but you choose the source for the zoom from the top</p>

<p>just click the boxes at the top to change that and they get progressively more detailed as you go from left to right. </p>

<p>The usgs urban area othro is the best, though it only has data for a few places. That is the source I used for the stanford pic</p>
