WVU

WVU’s main campus in Morgantown covers three distinct areas, some as far as a mile apart. And with an enrollment of nearly 30,000 students, there are tens of thousands of prospective students visiting campus each year with many coming during high-volume times like over school holidays and during yield season. Looking for a new tour solution that was easy for users to navigate and quick for staff to update when needed, West Virginia University partnered with StudentBridge. With VisiTOUR, the institution now offers virtual and self-guided tours that can be completed 24/7/365 with no downloads required. In WVU’s first year partnering with StudentBridge, the university saw more than 25,000 tours taken with two out of three tours completed after typical business hours.

“We saw unbelievable results in just a couple of weeks with VisiTOUR. We were so blown away by the numbers. It’s also been incredible to see so many students taking advantage of these tours from home, which wasn’t something we saw much of previously.”
