Take a Personalized Campus Tour Without Ever Leaving Your Couch
/The pandemic has impacted the college admissions process in every which way, leaving schools worried for their future. On-campus tours are an essential part of showing prospective students what their school represents, but due to fear of spreading COVID-19 and social distancing, they are not possible anymore. While virtual tours through Zoom have been a suitable place-holder until in-person tours can resume, they lack the personal touch that student tour guides provide.
Hamilton College decided to send their student tour guides off to give personal tours using cameras and their phone to take live shots. They are there to answer questions for students on these tours about daily life on campus. These tours include sneak peeks into residence halls, dining halls, and other smaller spaces that groups would not be allowed to see under current restrictions.
