Campus tour
College Campus Tour is a marketing tool used by the University and/or College to show the campus to prospective students and others interested in the facility. The tours are usually Guided Campus Walking Tours, where the guides are students of the school. In the walking tours, a group of 10-30 visitors are guided by usually one student guide - who typically walk ahead of the group facing the group (walking backwards). The tour typically lasts 30-90 minutes. Other types of tours are
Online Tour
Online photographic Tour
Self Guided Tour
Podcast Tour
Campus Tours are usually free, as they are marketing initiative by the institution. The student tour guides selected for this job are usually the ones who have high respect for the institution.
For prospective students, some schools (especially private), encourage visitors to share meals with the current students.
Visiting housing facility is part of general campus Tours. Some tours might include sit in class as part of the tour.
Tour guides, some times, informally poll the visitors of the purpose of the visit and find out any specific questions prior to the tour, so that these items are explicitly covered. Campus Tour is another occasion for the institution to share the culture and brag about the healthy revelry with competing institutions - usually in close proximity.
