How are SchoolScoops tours different?
Admissions office tours are essentially a sales pitch—you’re just a number in a big group, and everyone gets the same scripted, cookie-cutter tour.
SchoolScoops tours are private, personalized and unscripted. You'll get the unfiltered inside scoop on the school.

Authentic insights from current students
SchoolScoops guides don't work for their school so they're not trying to sell you on it. Instead, they offer genuine insights from their own experiences.
Book a tour
Private, personalized and real
Choose a guide with similar academic interests, hobbies, and personality traits. Get candid answers to the personal questions you wouldn't ask on a group tour.
Choose your guide
The behind-the-scenes way to visit college
Traditional admissions office tours cover the basics, but they can't show you everything you want to see. On a SchoolScoops tour your guide will show you the parts of campus that are important to you. Choosing where to go to college is a major decision and a big investment. Get the inside scoop and make a well-informed choice.
