Castleton University Launches New Virtual Tour
Prospective students can visit campus from the comfort of their home through Castleton’s virtual campus tour, which was recently updated to include additional stops and new interactive features.
The tour provides 360-degree panoramic views from 20 different locations across Castleton’s main campus and satellite locations in Killington and Bennington, Vermont.
"Our virtual tour is a great opportunity for students who are otherwise unable to visit our campus, especially students from across the country and internationally. It provides a glimpse into life at Castleton, but there’s no replacing the experience of visiting Castleton in real life,” said Assistant Dean of Enrollment Emily Wiezalis. “What makes Castleton such a special place is the connections created on campus. We encourage students to visit our campus, engage in our community, and see it for themselves.”
The experience begins at the Alumni Gates, which provides a sentimental nod to Castleton’s rich history and student traditions. Stops along the tour include the Fine Arts Center, home to Castleton’s art, theater, music, and graphic design programs. Science labs, the library, and lecture halls across campus are also on display. These locations highlight academic life at Castleton, while views of athletics facilities, residence halls, and different dining options around campus provide an insight into student life.
Visitors can interact with hot spots throughout the tour, including photos and videos that provide an insider’s perspective into life at Castleton, while also being introduced to Castleton students, faculty, and staff.
Created in collaboration with YouVisit, a branch of EAB that specializes in virtual tours, the tour is also offered in Spanish and is accessible for people with disabilities.
The virtual tour is a resource for admitted students who are looking to become more familiar with campus and for alumni who want to see the many ways their alma mater has evolved throughout the years. It will also be a valuable resource for groups that want to host an event on Castleton’s campus, including weddings, corporate retreats, and more.
The virtual tour was launched by Castleton’s Admissions and Advancement Offices, and complements on-campus experiences and visits.
Castleton’s virtual tour is just one way to explore campus and is a great opportunity for students who are otherwise unable to visit campus. We believe touring Castleton's campus is best when experienced in person.
