Virtual Tours of Universities in Canada
Newly popular and equally informative, interactive virtual tours (also called self-guided tours) are popping up all over the Internet on many of the Canadian university websites. These programs allow you to manually navigate through many parts of campus, such as residence, making you feel like you’re right there on campus! Allowing you to see nearly 360 degrees of your prospective universities, virtual tours are popping up all over the net. They allow you to select different parts of campus to view with just one click! Start at the centre of campus and tour your way through classroom buildings, lecture halls, libraries, convocation halls, residences, eateries and so much more. See, first-hand, what it’s like to sit in a lecture hall or live in residence. Each virtual tour will be a little different. Many universities offer programs that allow you to move through rooms and experience every angle. Sometimes there are brief descriptions about the history behind each building, or the details about specific locations. For example, how many students each residence building accommodates. Many schools even offer virtual tours of their chapel buildings!
