Virtual campus tours to be offered alongside in-person tours

Emily Hervol is the assistant director of admissions at Kent State University.

Madison Knaack Reporter February 21, 2021

After COVID-19 put a halt to in person tours on campus, Emily Hervol, assistant director of admissions, said Kent State’s admissions office wanted to offer a different way prospective students and their families could visit campus, so they created a virtual tour option.  

While students and parents can sign up for the 3-D campus tour already offered on Kent State’s website , the virtual tours offered through Kent State’s admission office will be formatted differently. Each prospective student and family will have their own Microsoft Teams account where they are paired with a tour guide for a personalized tour around campus without having to be there in person.   

“We try to pair them [students and tour guides] up by major, if not major then by hometown, then by interests,” Hervol said. 

The tours will all be one-on-ones to give a personalized experience to the student and family, which allows the personalization and introductions to go beyond your name and major, Hervol said. 

“We know it’s not the same, but we want students to have a personalized, positive experience,” Hervol said. “We’re coming up with new ideas every day to enhance the experience.”   

The virtual tours launch on Monday, this story is continuing.

Kent State University and Buy360Tour Announce 3D Digital Campus Tour Set to Transform College Shopping Experience

STOW, Ohio , Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Buy360Tour is transforming the college shopping experience by creating a 3D virtual tour of Kent State University .

kent state 3d tour

"We have signed a contract with Kent State University to become one of the first, if not the first, university to have a 3D virtual tour of the majority of its campus" said Buy360Tour co-founder Nick Wargo .

" Kent State is extremely excited to have this tool to help its admissions team provide an accurate depiction of its campus, especially for out-of-state and international students," Wargo said. "Any university using our exclusive 3D technology will have the upper hand in recruiting and admissions."

Buy360Tour's team was able to roll out on Kent State's Kent Campus in Kent, Ohio , and finish capturing the data needed for this project in under three weeks. Most buildings on the university's Kent Campus now have their own digital replica.

"That will allow students and their families to walk the halls and engage with the spaces as if they were there in person," Wargo said. "This technology will allow students to make a choice of which university they want to attend, 100% virtually."

Buy360Tour's advanced marketing platform allows clients to create engaging content so users can move around the 3D model and click on points of interest for videos and more information about certain rooms and areas.

"We service industries of all kinds," Wargo said. "Our future plans as a company will focus on bringing this technology to more universities all over the country."

To view the 3D tour of Kent State , visit www.kent.edu/admissions , scroll down to "Take a 360° virtual tour of Kent State !" and click on the yellow "Explore Now" button.
