How effective are vanderbilt university virtual tours.

It depends how you use them. Vanderbilt University is a hustling, bustling campus and community. The beauty of Vanderbilt University virtual tours on CampusReel is that authentic video tours, made by real students, can be spectacular at capturing the Vanderbilt University vibe. We also go well beyond the confines of the Vanderbilt University campus by taking you around Nashville. In traditional virtual tours, you will mostly see still, unengaging images and will not see the surrounding area at all – which is why CampusReel virtual tours are so important.

Can a Vanderbilt University virtual tour replace a traditional in-person visit?

If you cannot visit Vanderbilt University in person, then we can honestly say that we believe a CampusReel virtual tour of Vanderbilt University is absolutely the most effective and holistic way to understand the Vanderbilt University people, campus and community. However, if you do plan on visiting Vanderbilt University and other colleges in person, we strongly recommend that you at least prescreen your college options on CampusReel before spending the time and money to visit. Most prospective families find that as soon as the step on campus, they instantly know whether or not they like the school – but they’ve already spent all that time and money getting there! Our goal is to eliminate all the time and money visiting Vanderbilt University in person until you can make a strong educated guess that it’s worth the investment.

What are the downsides of a Vanderbilt University virtual tour?

The downside of virtually touring Vanderbilt University on CampusReel is that, admittedly, our technology does not yet mimic the exact feeling and experience of visiting Vanderbilt University in person. We are working on this though! A common request we also receive from users is to add more perspectives (e.g. student guides) to the platform. Rest assured we are working on adding more CampusReel guides to the Vanderbilt University virtual tour. However, our selection of guides still far outweighs the available perspectives of traditional virtual tour platforms.

What are the benefits of a Vanderbilt University virtual tour?

The most obvious benefit of a Vanderbilt University virtual tour on CampusReel is that is can be accessed from anywhere. This can save families a lot of time and money compared to visiting Vanderbilt University in person . Another often overlooked benefit of a CampusReel virtual tour is that it goes far beyond a traditional in person tour Vanderbilt University . Campus visits are limited both in time and scope – how are you expected to truly understand a college in a 1 hour tour? That’s why we stress the added benefit of CampusReel virtual tours – experience Vanderbilt University and Nashville during different seasons, days of the week, and even hours of the day. What’s game day like? What is finals week life? Again, traditional virtual touring platforms don’t include this benefit.

When you do visit the campus, be sure to talk to current students about their experiences. A student perspective is a helpful way to gauge your future experience when attending Vanderbilt University. Already took an on-campus tour? It's inevitable. All of your college tours will blend, and you might forget the appearance of Vanderbilt's library, dorms, or cafeteria. Use the virtual tour to jog your memory! With the interactive mapping tool below you can even explore the area surrounding the campus.

Use the resources below to start your virtual tour.
