The best thing to do when you’re stuck at home is to watch videos of the things you could be doing outside. There’s a college in Urbana, Illinois that offers a university virtual tour that is almost like actually being on campus, and you’ve got to try it.
Whether or not you’ve been to this campus before, it is fun to explore it in this new, digital way. Scroll on for more details.
The University of Illinois in the central part of the state is offering virtual tours, videos, info sessions, and much more to those who are still interested in visiting the campus and learning more about it at this time.
While it has been closed to students, staff, and guests, there's no reason why you can't still enjoy its brilliant architecture, landscaping, and history with the incredible virtual reality tour that was put together by the college.
It gives viewers a good old-fashioned admissions tour of one of Illinois' oldest and most prestigious universities all while allowing those viewers the comfort of their home or other private space.
You'll see well-known statues, residence halls, dining halls, lecture halls, student centers, recreational centers, the quad, sports stadiums, and more.
The tour is narrated and really makes you feel like you're right there on-site. You can use your finger or cursor to move the screen around and really see a 360-degree view of the entire scene you're in.
There's no more immersive way to experience the university than actually being there. Whether you're too far away for an in-person visit, are trapped at home, or can't visit due to closures, this video is the perfect alternative experience.
