Street View: your friendly campus tour guide
January 11, 2012
Cross-posted from the
Official Google Blog
For many, the start of a new year is also the start of a new semester. Whether you’re a current student trying to familiarize yourself with campus, an applicant assessing your options or an alumnus feeling nostalgic, the
Street View
feature in
Google Maps
can be your tour guide without the backward walking. We recently added imagery of more university campuses to the existing special collections already available via Street View through our
Partner Program
. Let’s take a quick tour of some of the many beautiful campuses around the world.
In Tokyo’s Shinjuku ward, you can find
Waseda University
. Founded in 1882, it is known for producing some of the top Japanese politicians and business leaders in recent history. Check out the statue of
Ōkuma Shigenobu
, who founded the university.

Halfway around the world, we can visit the
University of Glasgow
in Scotland. Founded in 1451, this university is one of the
oldest in the world
, and the fourth oldest in the English speaking world. Take a tour of the magnificent campus starting at the West Quadrangle of the Main Building.

Hop the Atlantic and cross the U.S. to
Stanford University
, which was founded in 1891 in Palo Alto, Calif. Located near Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, both of our founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, attended Stanford for their graduate studies. Explore the campus starting at the palm-lined main quad with a view of Hoover Tower.

Students, take note: Even though your campus is now available in your browser, you still need to go to class! To view other imagery collections of popular universities around the world see a complete
list of the campuses
