Check out how new technology allows this school to entice prospective students.
The University of Rochester, New York has launched a three-dimensional campus model to give a leg up to its admissions department. The model, called RocRes, is designed to provide an insider’s view of what it’s like to live on the school’s River campus.
Included in the 3D model:
- Dormitory room tours
- 360-degree panoramic views, and
- Interactive campus views.
When students click on a particular building they’d like to investigate, they’re provided with information and images of the structure. This virtual campus is especially useful for international students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to visit during the application process.
Is this the future of campus tours – or just a novelty? Share your opinions in the comments section, and don’t forget to follow us on Twitter.
