College Virtual Tours: Walk 400+ Campuses in 360

See a campus before you visit it

Most students apply to schools they have never set foot on. A virtual tour is the cheapest way to fix that. You can stand in the quad, look around the library, and get a feel for whether a place is a city campus or a field of lawns, without booking a flight.

The tours below are 360 degree walkthroughs. Drag to look around, and move between stops the way you would on a real visit. Each one opens from that school's page, so the acceptance rate, deadlines, cost and admitted student profiles are all on the same screen.

A tour is not a substitute for going. It is very good at answering "what does this place look and feel like", and no good at all at answering "what are the people like". Use it to cut a long list down to the handful worth visiting properly.

How to get the most out of a virtual tour

Look at the edges of the frame, not the middle. Tours are shot to flatter, so the useful information is usually behind the subject: how far the dorms are from the classrooms, whether the campus is enclosed or spills into a city, how new or old the buildings really are.

Then check the numbers. A campus that looks perfect and admits 4% of applicants belongs on a different part of your list than one that looks the same and admits 60%.
