Campus visits won’t be happening anytime soon. Those spring college visits you had planned have been postponed or cancelled. If you have a senior who is making a college decision (or a junior finalizing their college list), your student can visit from the comfort of their own home.

Here’s some great links to check out virtual college tours on campuses across the country.

YouVisit

Here you can visit 600+ colleges for free either viewing on your device in 360 mode or using a virtual reality device. Tour small or large private colleges and public universities. You can search for the college by name.

eCampusTours

YoUniversitytv

If you’re not sure where to go or just interested in a type of college to view (i.e. Coolest Dorms, Best Athletics, Safest Campus, etc.) this is the place to go for a virtual tour of the campus. Colleges are divided into categories for easy searching.

YouTube

Go to YouTube and type in the name of the college that interests you and check out all the videos. SMU, for instance, has an actual official campus tour posted. You won’t be there at the physical location, but you can gather any information your need and even post questions. You can even view student vlogs to get a better idea of what the campus is like from a student perspective.

College Websites

Don’t forget to check the college websites for virtual tours. Their web pages are good ways to find information to questions you might ask on a regular campus tour. If you can’t find an answer there, look for ways to connect via email or social media. Odds are you can get your questions answered
