If you can’t make it for a tour of Brock University, technology will give you an in-depth look at the campus.

The University’s virtual tour is now live on the Discover Brock website and hundreds of students have already taken a look around.

The majority of students who’ve taken the virtual tour are from Canada with 149, just eight more visitors than from the United States at 141.

There have been multiple visitors from Trinidad, the United Kingdom, Israel, United Arad Emirates, Peru and Mexico.

“When we get students on our campus, we have a much better chance of getting them to apply,” said Joseph Gottli, multimedia web specialist in Recruitment and Liaison Services.

“When you are trying to choose a university, unless you can picture yourself there, you don’t really consider it.”

In the month since the virtual tour went live online, Gottli said 22 people have contacted Brock.

It’s those connections with prospective students that make showcasing Brock a priority.

“There are aspects of the campus you can’t see anywhere else,” Gottli said.

All of Brock’s buildings, including some residences are part of the virtual tour, as well as the Bruce Trail and Jubilee Court.

“They can have a 360-degree look at all of the areas we showcase on our actual tours,” Gottli said.

As well, he said the tour is responsive and can be viewed on all devices, including phones. It can be viewed on virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Rift or Google Cardboard.

The tour can be accessed on the Discover Brock website and the International Recruitment website on almost every page.
