About us
College tours, reimagined
Choosing where to go college is a big decision: it's a huge investment and colleges aren't one-size-fits-all. We believe your college search and discovery process shouldn't be either.
What is SchoolScoops?
SchoolScoops connects college applicants with current students for 1-on-1 campus tours and video chats. SchoolScoops guides tailor each tour to your unique interests and provide valuable insights and answers to your personal questions.
Our mission
Our mission is to empower students to make well-informed college decisions through personalized tours, genuine insights, and meaningful connections.
SchoolScoops is a better, more personal way to tour colleges
Choose your own guide
On a typical college tour, the school assigns you a guide. With SchoolScoops, you can choose a guide who shares your academic interests, hobbies, and goals—someone who truly gets you.
Private tours, tailored to you
Traditional campus tours can feel impersonal and overwhelming because you're just a number in a big group. With SchoolScoops 1-on-1 tours and video chats, you get a personalized experience.
Unscripted and unfiltered
SchoolScoops guides don't work for their school, so there's no sales pitch. Instead, they share their authentic experiences, offer honest insights into their school, and candidly answer your questions.
Answers to all your questions
Choosing the right college is easier when you get answers to all the big and little questions you really want to know, like which dorms to avoid or the reputations of fraternities and sororities—answers you won’t get on typical tours.
Parents, SchoolScoops gives you and your child confidence and peace of mind
Sending a child to college is both exciting and stressful. College is a major investment, and parents want their child to thrive, find community, explore passions, and grow. But how do you help them make the right decision? There’s no one-size-fits-all college, and it’s difficult to know if your child is making the right choice. What combination of location, size, ranking and reputation adds up to happiness for your child?
SchoolScoops tours and video chats let your kid really see themselves as a college student. Because they choose their own guide by their own criteria, they will see each school through the real-life, honest, unfiltered experiences of a current student, someone who is like them.
SchoolScoops gives you and your soon-to-be college student a wealth of information you won’t find in brochures or on an admissions office tour. You’ll see what life is really like beyond the pretty pictures and discover the school that’s the best fit for them.
