A new way to tour Caltech
A typical Caltech tour can feel impersonal, leaving you with more questions than answers. You’re just a face in the crowd following a scripted tour led by a guide the school assigns you.
SchoolScoops offers private Caltech tours tailored to your interests. Choose your own Caltech student tour guide and enjoy a personalized campus visit where you'll get candid answers to your questions.
SchoolScoops is the more personal way to tour the California Institute of Technology
Private and personalized Caltech tours
On a traditional Caltech campus tour you’re just a number in a big group. With SchoolScoops, you can book a private California Institute of Technology tour led by a real Caltech student, giving you a personalized campus visit and the chance to ask all the questions that are important to you.
Choose your own tour guide
Unlike a traditional Caltech campus tour, SchoolScoops lets you choose your own tour guide. Whether you want to meet an engineering major, a student-athlete or a fellow transfer student, you'll get authentic insights and advice from someone who truly gets you.
No scripts, just scoops
Traditional Caltech campus tours are essentially a sales pitch—the tour guide works for the school and their job is to show you the highlights. SchoolScoops guides don’t work for their school, so there’s no sales pitch—just honest, unfiltered advice about the Caltech experience.
Find out if Caltech is the school for you
Choosing where to go to college is a major decision and a huge investment. A private Caltech tour helps you decide if Caltech is the right fit for your academic goals, career ambitions and college experience.
