Are university virtual tours worth it? Anyone know of any good ones?


I found Chichester’s to be informative, but haven’t found any others yet. I’ve tried some other uni websites, but they didn’t seem to have them. I’ve also found some useful videos on YouTube - regardless of the standard or content of the video, there’s always something to be garnered from it.

Hey there @shepline !
In short, they're not as good as the real thing but they do the job. Even if there's only virtual tours available, my advice to you is try and visit the city you're planning on studying at anyway. It could be the make or break to see if you could see yourself living there. As far as virtual tours go, I'd try to at least speak to some students who currently go there. They usually have that option available, they're not being told to big it all up to you, they'll tell you how it really is and where the best places to go are. You could even look at YouTube and TikTok videos of people who currently study there to see what their life is like and what the accommodation options are.

Hope this helped!
