Brown University is a private Ivy League institution that’s always looking to the future.
Located in Providence, RI, with a history dating back to 1764, this school prides themselves on forward-thinking. Recently, they partnered with YouVisit to create a virtual campus tour. Thus, creating an immersive 360-degree experience for prospective students and families. This experience gains essential knowledge by highlights the school’s campus, history, and culture. Furthermore, it is viewable across desktop, mobile, and VR. Suffice to say- it is the next best thing to being there in person.
“We think that all prospective students will find value in our new tour—and even current students and alumni will enjoy virtually wandering around current and old haunts.” — Logan Powell, Dean of Admission
A Closer Look
The narrators of the 12-stop virtual campus tour are Brown students, Chelse-Amoy Steele, and Max Kozlov. The tour also provides insight into Brown’s cross-disciplinary research work by showcasing a variety of buildings. The Perry and Marty Granoff Center highlight creative arts while the Holley building houses the university’s engineering and the physics departments. Additionally, viewers can take a look at the sprawling Nelson Fitness Center.
“We know that prospective students are curious about what our campus looks and feels like,” says Logan Powell, Brown’s dean of admission. “With this virtual tour, they can get a sense of Brown’s distinctive academic and cultural experience. As well as the history and beauty of campus—early in the admissions process, even before they visit us in person.”
Powell adds, “But we are particularly excited to offer students who can’t physically travel to campus a way to ‘visit’ and get a better sense of what Brown is all about.”
