American University Virtual Tour

Are you applying to american university explore the campus using the virtual tour below..

Virtual tours are a great way to refresh your memory or to preview an on-site tour of The American University.

Do I Really Need to Take a Tour?

At the beginning of your college search, a virtual tour can be a beneficial tool to explore the campus before your visit. When you do visit the campus, be sure to talk to current students about their experiences. A student perspective is a helpful way to gauge your future experience when attending American University. Already took an on-campus tour? It's inevitable. All of your college tours will blend, and you might forget the appearance of The American University's library, dorms, or cafeteria. Use the virtual tour to jog your memory! With the interactive mapping tool below you can even explore the area surrounding the campus.

Use the resources below to start your virtual tour.

Using the Map

Click and drag the little orange person to a location on the map. Locations with panoramas appear as blue lines or blue dots when moving the orange person. The blue dots are panoramic views that you may swivel. The blue lines are paths that you can navigate along.

Panoramic View

You can "pan" or "swivel" the camera around by clicking on the image and dragging your mouse or finger. If you see a white arrow on the picture, you can click or tap on it to move in the direction of the arrow. This will also update the location of the little orange person on the map so you can get a better sense of where you are and what direction you are facing.

How to Choose Colleges With Virtual Tours

A guide to some of the tour sites that aim to help students feel as if they are walking around campuses without leaving home.

By Donna De La Cruz

With college campuses closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, free virtual tours have grown in popularity . High school juniors hoping to begin college in the fall of 2021 are not able to visit campuses in person, but they and their families have many ways to explore their options while staying safe at home.

Here is a guide to some of the tour sites that aim to help students feel as if they are walking around campuses. They can visit as many colleges as they like, without the cost of a road trip or the aching feet.

If you are just getting started on the college admissions process:

The National Association for College Admission Counseling provides information from more than 1,000 colleges and universities on changes to admissions processes resulting from the pandemic. The tool lets students get an overview of resources available at each institution, including links to virtual tours offered, said the association’s president, Jayne Caflin Fonash. “If someone only wants to know about schools in a certain state, or is only interested in finding out about standardized testing policies for the fall, they can drill down to get that information,” Dr. Fonash said.

StriveScan is offering the Strive Virtual College Exploration program through May 8 to take the place of in-person college fairs. Students get advice on how to write a college essay, apply for financial aid, and the chance to ask questions to officials from more than 450 colleges from 45 states and 13 countries — Canada, Britain, Ireland, Italy, France, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Belgium, Australia and Mexico. All sessions are taped, allowing students to download them. StriveScan’s president, Dan Saavedra, said more presentations will be held in the coming weeks, including one focusing on STEM schools and another on small, private liberal arts schools.

If you are ready to start touring:

There are several websites that allow students to tour and compare schools. These sites offer interactive maps, photos, videos and testimonials.

CampusTours offers tours of more than 1,800 schools in the United States as well as tours of schools in the United Kingdom, Canada, China and France. Its advanced search feature allows students to fine-tune details they are searching for, such as how much tuition they want to pay. About 100 schools offer insights from enrolled students during parts of the tour on campus life, the company’s president, Christopher Carson, said. CampusTours is also working on a feature to allow students to ask questions while they are on the tour that are sent to college officials, he added.

YouVisit offers tours of more than 600 U.S. schools. The tours offer prompts that pop up asking students for input that is sent to college officials to respond, an attempt to replicate the questions and answers that come up during in-person tours. YouVisit also offers students to tour using “virtual reality” tools. “There is nothing that replaces that in-person experience that makes a student fall in love with a campus, but the goal of a virtual tour is to do as much as it can to replace those moments,” said Emily Bauer, vice president for agency services for EAB, the education research and technology company that owns YouVisit.

If you want to attend a Historically Black College or University:

The Chicago HBCU Alumni Alliance is offering virtual fairs in which nearly 50 H.B.C.U.s give students information on admissions, programs and scholarships. Videotapes of the events will be available on the alliance’s website in the coming weeks. The alliance’s president, Danielle James, said more virtual fairs are planned for the summer.

StriveScan also featured presentations from several H.B.C.U.s.

Other virtual tour sites include:

YoUniversity : Students can click on tabs such as “safest campuses,” “most diverse campuses” and “top academic colleges,” as well as “best campus food” and “coolest dorms.”

CampusReel : Students enrolled at colleges can upload their videos to this site for sharing, after being vetted. Students or parents must register to join.

If you want to take a gap year:

The Gap Year Association offers videos on what it means to take a gap year and is building a new student membership platform — a nominal fee will be required to join — that will give students access to weekly calls to learn about gap year opportunities, said the association’s executive director, Ethan Knight. The website also offers information on accredited gap year programs and counselors.

If you want to play sports in college:

Virtual tours, like the ones at YouVisit , can put students in the stands or on the playing field to get a simulated experience of being an athlete there. CampusTours has a feature that lets students find sports offered at various schools.

After you’ve narrowed down your list:

This is the time to start making personal outreach to schools, Mr. Carson of CampusTours said. “You can’t rely on virtual tours to tell you everything about the institution, you need to reach out to the schools themselves.” Traditionally, students have been told that some colleges rank in-person visits as a show of “demonstrated interest.” This year that could take different forms, like emailing professors and admissions officers or attending Zoom meetings. “Demonstrated interest is very valuable,” Mr. Carson said. “Make personalized phone calls and write emails.”

YouVisit is a virtual reality platform that allows users to explore a variety of immersive experiences, including college campus tours, travel destinations , and events. By using YouVisit, users can virtually visit a location from the comfort of their own home, getting a feel for the atmosphere, culture, and facilities of a particular place.

One of the main benefits of YouVisit is that it allows users to experience a location in a way that is not possible through traditional means. For example, users can visit a college campus and walk through residence halls, academic buildings, and other facilities , getting a sense of what it would be like to attend school there. This can be especially useful for students who are unable to visit a campus in person due to distance or other constraints.

YouVisit also offers a variety of travel experiences , allowing users to virtually visit destinations around the world. This can be a great way to explore a new place and get a fee l for what it’s like before deciding to physically travel there.

In addition to college campus tours and travel experiences , YouVisit also offers virtual reality experiences for events and conferences. This can be a great way for attendees to get a sense of the atmosphere and layout of an event, and can also be useful for event organizers looking to showcase their offerings to potential attendees.

Overall, YouVisit is a valuable tool for anyone looking to explore new places and experiences in a virtual setting. Whether you’re a student considering college options, a traveler planning your next vacation, or an event organizer looking to showcase your offerings, YouVisit can provide a unique and immersive way to learn more about a particular location or experience.

TOUR-IST ATTRACTION

Virtual YouVisit Offers a 360-Degree Online Look at UH Campus

By Chris Stipes

The easy-to-use YouVisit provides prospective students, alumni and the current UH community a convenient and immersive way to explore campus from anywhere in the world.

“Imagine visiting the University of Houston — all the buildings, labs and popular gathering places that power the Powerhouse — from anywhere in the world.” 

Now, thanks to virtual reality, you can step inside M.D. Anderson Library or stand on the 50-yard line of TDECU Stadium all from the comfort of your couch. Launched last fall, the YouVisit virtual tour enables prospective students, alumni and the current UH community to explore campus like never before across all major devices, including desktop, 

Featured prominently on the UH homepage, the narrated tour is split into two segments — a University Tour, which includes the Student Center, athletics facilities and multiple residence halls among its 17 stops, and an Academic Tour, which includes each of our 15 academic colleges and the interdisciplinary Honors College. 

“For those of us who know the University well, our striking facilities, amenities and attractive landscaping in the middle of the nation’s fourth largest city will come as no surprise. My hope is that our virtual tour will reach new audiences and establish a lasting connection,” said Lisa Holdeman, UH vice president of marketing and communications. 

So far, that’s exactly what’s happening. 

In just the first month following the tour’s launch, more than 10,000 virtual visitors from 91 countries and more than 50 states and territories — California, New York and Florida leading the way — took the tour. Nearly 20% either scheduled an actual campus visit, applied online or requested more information about the University. The new tour, also accessible on the UH Go mobile app and on the YouVisit website, is proving to be a valuable tool for reaching and recruiting new students. 

“The virtual tour allows us to make an instant connection by bringing everything our amazing campus has to offer right to a prospective student’s front door. We hope it will spark their interest to come and take an actual tour or even apply,” said Mardell Maxwell, executive director of UH admissions. “It expands our reach and engages students here and abroad who perhaps weren’t even considering UH, and that’s very positive because we have a terrific story to tell.” 

Loaded with a supplemental collection of photos and videos, the tour not only highlights prominent facilities, but also the numerous resources, academic programs and fun facts that make UH a Tier One public research institution. For example, did you know that the Conrad N.  Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management has a one-of-a-kind wine lab or that the College of Optometry is the only U.S. optometry college featuring an on-site surgery center educating students in pre- and post-operative patient care? 

That’s all in the tour, which is available in English, Spanish, Mandarin and Hindi. But no matter what language is being spoken, the basic message is the same:

YouVisit Campus Virtually With New Online Tour Experience

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 3, 2014)  — The University of Kentucky is proud to launch two brand new virtual tours — one of the main campus and one of residence halls — through the YouVisit platform . The YouVisit tours provide both prospective undergraduate and graduate students an up-close and engaging view of the university.

"Our community is continuously becoming a more diverse, global society," Kelley Bozeman, marketing director, said. "We wanted to give students from across the Commonwealth, country and world a way to experience our campus, even if they are unable to travel to Lexington."

This project was a collaborative project between the UK Office of Public Relations and Marketing and Enrollment Management.

The online tours simulate an actual campus tour. Each of the tours is led by a campus tour guide who narrates the visitor through the tour much like they do on a campus visit. Cassidy and Arayo, both UK Visitor Center tour guides, take visitors to the site on a tour of campus and residence halls, describing each tour stop and giving fun information about UK, academics and campus services along the way.

The main campus tour guides you through the campus, Rupp Arena and Downtown Lexington, the Arboretum and Keeneland. The second tour gives you a personal view of the many residence halls on campus.

"We felt it was important to include parts of Lexington with the campus tour," Bozeman said. "Lexington is a great college town and is part of what makes UK so special. We selected a few locations to highlight that are favorites of our students."

Viewers are able to watch videos and view 360-degree panoramic shots that connect to each stop to give them an even more exclusive look at the university. The website also provides text-only subtitles for each stop of the tour. Interested students can also schedule a campus tour and apply to the university from the site.

"We know that students spend a lot of time online researching prospective institutions," Bozeman said. "YouVisit allows students to check out UK as they are researching schools and gives them a great sampling of what our campus is like. We also anticipate students using the site to review campus as they make their final college decisions. The University of Kentucky is an amazing place to spend your collegiate years and we're excited to offer YouVisit as another tool to help in the college selection process."

The online virtual tours provide translations in both Spanish and Mandarin to accommodate  interested international students. They are also mobile-friendly and work on any mobile device including smartphones and tablets. The tours will be able to help keep prospective students informed and aware of the many new innovations going on at UK.

"The tour will be updated on a yearly basis, but we will continuously add supplemental photos and videos to the site," Bozeman said.

The YouVisit tour platform, along with seeblue.com and applyuk.com , are innovative ways that the University of Kentucky is utilizing to share our "see blue." story with prospective students.

"Visiting seeblue.com, our YouVisit campus tour and applyuk.com, along with following our social media accounts, should give a prospective student a good idea of what life would be like as a Wildcat," Bozeman said.

View the University of Kentucky virtual tour at the YouVisit website at www.youvisit.com/tour/uky .

Let us share our "see blue." story with you. Connect with "see blue." on Facebook , Twitter , Instagram and Tumblr . Visit steller.co/seeblue to see why our students, faculty, staff and alumni love being a Wildcat.

Share your UK experiences with us using #seeblue.
