Experience college of charleston with new virtual visitor center.

Maybe you can’t visit the College of Charleston campus in person right now, but you can sit in on an information session, tour the campus or ask admissions officers questions with the new Virtual Visitor Center .

“We know there’s nothing that replaces stepping foot on our beautiful downtown Charleston campus, but during these uncertain times, our new Virtual Visitor Center gives students and families the ability to make meaningful connections from the safety of their homes,” says Will Chase , assistant director of visitor services for the Office of Admissions . “The campus visit is one of the most influential factors in a student’s college decision and until you have the chance to visit in person, the Virtual Visitor Center recreates many of the same visit opportunities, remotely.”

The site merges photography, video, interactive chats and 360-degree views to bring the campus to life. It’s a great way for prospective students and their families to start exploring all aspects of the College and get excited about CofC.

“We are eager to welcome future Cougars back on campus soon, but until then you can immerse yourself in our virtual tour, chat one-on-one with admissions and financial aid counselors or learn more about the 140-plus academic programs with our deans and faculty (with more options being developed and added soon!),” says Chase. “Creating this new resource was truly a team effort from all over campus and our commitment to providing prospective students with a unique, personalized visit experience is unchanged, regardless of if that is on campus or on your living room couch.”

Of course, you can also buy gift cards for future meals on these sites too!

Donate to Charleston Charities

One of the easiest (and most important ways) to support Charleston businesses during this time is to donate to a charity that supports workers in the food and beverage industry. Many of these employees make less than minimum wage and rely solely on tips and gratuities to get by. 

Without work, they virtually have no income. 

While many workers are scraping by on assisting restaurants with takeout and delivery services (as they haven’t been suspended as of yet), most of the foodservice industry’s employees in Charleston are without work.

The following non-profit organizations are collecting money to help food and beverage workers aid and support in these uncertain times. Not only do these non-profits send money to workers, but they also provide other types of aid. 

Southern Smoke

The Giving Kitchen

USBG National Charity Foundation

Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation

We hope these tips will tide you over until you’re ready to head back to Charleston! Stay tuned for more ways to virtually enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of the Holy City.

University of Charleston Virtual Tour

Are you considering uc take a virtual tour of the campus below..

A visit to University of Charleston is ideal, but virtual tours can act to refresh your memory or as a preview for your on-site tour.

Why a Virtual Tour?

Inevitably, on-campus tours of classrooms, libraries, dorms, and dining halls will start to blend. Jog your memory using the virtual tour and even explore the area surrounding the campus using the interactive mapping tool. If you're just beginning your college search, a virtual tour can be a great way to get a feel for a campus before your visit. Remember, when you do go, be sure to ask current students about their college life. A student perspective can be the most helpful way to gauge your future experience at UC.

Use the resources below to start your virtual tour.

Using the Map

Click and drag the little orange person to a location on the map. Locations with panoramas appear as blue lines or blue dots when moving the orange person. The blue dots are panoramic views that you may swivel. The blue lines are paths that you can navigate along.

Panoramic View

You can "pan" or "swivel" the camera around by clicking on the image and dragging your mouse or finger. If you see a white arrow on the picture, you can click or tap on it to move in the direction of the arrow. This will also update the location of the little orange person on the map so you can get a better sense of where you are and what direction you are facing.
