This fall, schools nationwide are bringing back in-person classes! With this fresh start, many students are coming to campus for the first time after picking their schools from articles, brochures, and photos. However, still for prospective students, there is a serious challenge when trying to tour schools. With families taking safety precautions, many want a way to tour schools from the comfort of their home. Therefore, during the pandemic, institutions large and small introduced virtual tours.

From 2020, virtual tours proved to be an effective way to attract prospective students. With the ability to add voice overs to tours, virtual tours allowed students and families to learn about the school, it’s history, programs, and walk around the campus- from any location. Without this feature, many students would not have chosen the school that they did.

Still today, virtual tours are being implemented into school websites as institutions have realized that they can simply be convenient for individuals who may not have time to go to the school. 

Here are 4 more reasons why virtual tours can benefit schools

1. Build familiarity- Allow students across the world to build familiarity with the campus and facilities 

2. Stand out online- Virtual tours offer an interactive and engaging experience that goes beyond the static nature of a website

3. Highlight your university’s features- Schools can have the chance to highlight specific features of their schools using a virtual tour

4. Engage your audience- Virtual tours can be the best way to grab your audience’s attention and keep them scrolling through your website.
