Sooooo many virtual tours from soooo many colleges. Where to start? What to ask? What to look for? Here are some helpful tips:
Research each college before you start the tour Location, size, any known strengths
Write down questions that you have about the college
Zoom Sessions
Have your questions ready
Type your questions into the chat or Q/A box at the bottom of the screen
If your question is not answered send an email to the presenter after the session
Focus on things that are important to you, such as:
Athletics
Majors
Admission requirements
Research and job opportunities
Greek Life
Clubs
Dining options
Research the college town on YouTube or Google
Size of town
Local events
Shopping
Theaters
Public transportation
Sites other than the college that offer virtual tours:
Campus 360
Campus Tours
YouVisit
eCampus Tours
YOUniversity TV
Go See Campus

At the end of the tour make a list of pros and cons for each college.
There you go ….. it is a start. Hopefully we will be back to face to face tours soon.
