Take a college road trip with Street View
August 7, 2014
Whether you’re a college applicant or a curious parent getting to know your kid’s new home away from home, Street View can take you on a walking tour of schools around the world. Starting today, you’ll be able to explore 36 new university campuses across the U.S. and Canada with Street View in Google Maps.
First stop:
Georgetown University
in Washington, D.C. Architecture buffs will love Georgetown's Healy Hall, a
National Historic Landmark
and iconic building in the Romanesque revival style.
Healy Lawn, Georgetown University
Now let’s head south. If a tropical climate is more your speed, maybe the
University of Miami
is the right place for you. Strolling UM’s scenic pathways winding through palm trees and clear blue water, you almost need to put on your shades. Talk about extra credit!
Coral Gables, University of Miami
Finally, let’s stop by the
University of Regina
in Canada. Founded in 1911, the school is known for its emphasis on
experiential learning
. Although its Saskatchewan location can get pretty cold, students can take advantage of the beautiful green when the sun is shining.
Dr. Lloyd Barber Academic Green, University of Regina
These universities are the latest additions to the hundreds of college campuses all over the world that are already available for you to explore in Google Maps. To see if a Street View tour of your dream school is available, search for a particular university on Google Maps and click on
Pegman
to enter the Street View imagery. Visit our
Street View gallery
for global highlights and other popular universities around the world.
So if you can’t make it in person, Street View can help you get a feel for the place you’re considering spending the next four years. And for you parents out there, this might help you get used to the idea of an empty nest!
