How many ways can you visit a college campus without packing your bags?

Have you ever wanted to visit a college campus but found that you just couldn’t find the time to get away, or couldn't afford to pack up you bags and travel the hundreds of miles to your destination? Especially, when you don’t even know whether or not you’ll even be accepted. Is it really worth the trip? Fortunately, for all of you current college bound students there are plenty of ways to visit a college campus today without ever leaving home. You do however have to travel over to your computer and open up a web browser. For fun, you can pretend that you’re actually on an airplane flying to your destination. If you try this, I’d recommend that you grab a small bag of peanuts in tear resistant packaging before sitting down to surf the web. You might need a little snake.

No website will be able to replace an actual campus visit with boots on the ground, but a great place to start exploring college campuses is at the CampusTours website. www.campustours.com/. CampusTours was founded in 1997 as a way for students to take virtual tours of colleges and universities. This is a very easy website to navigate and you’ll find an enormous amount of valuable information. Be sure to take notes on the colleges visited.

eCampusTours.com at www.ecampustours.com/default.aspx, is another helpful website for getting a feel for a college without actually leaving home. eCampusTours.com is a free college planning website offering virtual college tours with 360° x 360° views of over 1300 different schools.

While a simple Google search for “College Tours” will turn up over 37,000,000 results, I’d like to save you a little time by encouraging your to begin your journey with the two websites listed above. Have a safe trip and I am looking forward to receiving your post card.
