Choosing a university to go to is a life-changing choice. For most it is also a difficult one. With coronavirus restrictions in place, many students could not tour the schools they wanted to in person. It was because of this many schools began offering virtual tours. St. Mary's was one of these schools. I personally toured St. Mary's virtually. I didn't mind this option because I was already pretty sure I wanted to go there. The virtual tour was eye catching and easily accessible. I could see though how a virtual tour could be impersonal for others who were struggling to make a choice. It's not easy to capture an experience through a computer screen.
