About
Most families can’t visit every campus.
A student applies to twelve colleges and visits three. The other nine get judged on a brochure, a drone video and a forum thread. Families overseas often can’t visit any of them.
The information that actually decides where someone is happy — what the walk to class feels like, whether people hang around after dinner, how big the place really is — doesn’t survive a prerecorded tour. It comes from a student who lives there, answering the question you actually asked.
So that’s what Prospect is: you book a time, a current student walks their campus with a camera, and you go with them. You see what they see and you talk the whole way. Tour more colleges, from anywhere.
How we work
We open campuses slowly
A campus goes live only when we have verified students there to lead tours. We would rather show you one real campus than a map of imaginary ones.
Guides are employees
We pay our guides by the hour and set the prices ourselves. No bidding, no competing on price, no working for tips alone.
We're independent
Prospect is an independent company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any university named on this site.
We don't do admissions consulting
We won't tell you where to apply or what your chances are. We show you the places.
