Virtual Tour
Experience Bellevue College in 360 degrees—from anywhere you happen to be.
The virtual tour guides you all around our beautiful, 100-acre campus. It even takes you inside buildings.
The Bellevue College campus is nestled in a wooded area near Puget Sound with views of the Cascades. Campus buildings encircle four courtyards, each landscaped with wide, tree-lined paths.
The most memorable campus landmarks are works of art. A fountain sculpture created by the late John Geise anchors the Raging River Courtyard. Outside Carlson Theatre, a 20-foot-tall steel sculpture by Stuart Branston towers over the landscape.
As a student, your uniqueness is an asset.
Bellevue College brings together people from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, and ambitions.
In classrooms, faculty encourage you to share your perspective. In clubs, peers help you develop your talents. And it’s always fun to bump into a friend in the courtyard or one of our coffee shops.
Here you can simply be you—and be valued as one of us.
