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 college students for private, student-led campus tours. SchoolScoops tours guides tailor each campus tour and virtual campus visit to your unique interests—giving you honest insights, real advice, and a clear view of campus life before you apply.
Our mission
Our mission is to empower students to make well-informed college decisions through personalized campus tours, genuine connections, and authentic student perspectives.
SchoolScoops is the better, more personal way to tour colleges
Choose your own guide
On most college tours, the schools assigns your a random tour guide. With SchoolScoops, you can choose your own tour guide who shares your academic interests, hobbies, and goals—someone who truly gets you.
Private campus 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 campus tours and virtual college visits, you get a personalized experience built entirely around your interests.
Unscripted and unfiltered
SchoolScoops tour 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.
Real answers to real 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.
Confience and peace of mind for parents
Sending your 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 college decision? Colleges are not one-size-fits-all, 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 campus tours and virtual college visits let your child really see themselves as a college student. Because they choose their own tour 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.
