SchoolScoops Comes to the Hilltop: Private, Student-Led Georgetown Tours Are Live
WASHINGTON, D.C. — April 2026 — SchoolScoops has launched at Georgetown University, giving prospective students a way to see Healy Hall, the Hilltop, and everything in between through the eyes of someone who actually lives there.
Georgetown isn't an easy place to sum up on a single walking tour. It's the oldest Catholic and Jesuit university in the country, home to one of the most respected international affairs programs anywhere, and set in one of Washington's most historic neighborhoods — a few blocks and a world away from the political institutions so many Hoyas end up working inside. A scripted, 45-minute admissions walk-through barely scratches the surface of what that actually feels like day to day.
That's the gap a private, one-on-one tour closes. Instead of a fixed group route, prospective students and families can browse current Georgetown guides, pick one who matches their interests — School of Foreign Service, pre-law, a specific varsity sport, Jesuit values, D.C. internship culture — and build a visit around what they actually want to know.
Georgetown launches with 20 current student guides on the platform, ready to walk families through campus or connect over video chat for those who can't make it to D.C.
The Georgetown launch continues SchoolScoops' expansion into schools where prospective students want more than a brand-name campus — they want to know what it's actually like to be there. Families interested in visiting can browse guides now. Current Georgetown students who want to host tours and earn $40/hour can apply to become a guide. Counselors coordinating group visits can learn more about private group tours.
