How it works
A virtual tour shows you campus. A live tour lets you explore it.
A current student walks campus live while you watch from home. There is no video to press play on — you are on a call with them, asking questions, for about an hour.

Can we see where students actually study?

Formats and pricing
One price per family
One price covers your whole family watching together on one screen.
Live group tour
$25per family
Up to 25 families
Join a scheduled walk led by a current student.
Your guide follows a planned route through campus and answers questions the whole way through.
Small group tour
$50per family
5–10 families
A smaller group, with more conversation.
Fewer families means your questions get real airtime, and the group has more say in where the walk goes.
Private tour
$100per family
Just your family
Your family and a student guide, one to one.
Tell your guide what you want to see — engineering buildings, the dorms, where students actually hang out — and they take you there.
Every format is booked the same way — college, time, language — and we assign a verified student guide. You never have to research individual students to book.
During the tour
What it’s actually like
You see what they see
The camera points at campus — courtyards, the dining hall queue, the walk to class in real weather.
You talk to them
Ask about housing, classes, food, safety, weekends, whether people actually like it there.
You steer, within reason
Say what you'd like to see next. Guides go where it's safe and where visitors are allowed.
Your family watches together
Parents, grandparents, the student — one screen, one price.
It's about an hour
Long enough for a real feel. Book two campuses in an afternoon if you like.
Who leads them
Current students, verified and paid
Currently enrolled
Undergraduates at the campus they show you — nobody else.
Verified by hand
We check a university email and a student ID before anyone leads a tour.
Paid by the hour
$30/hour as employees, not freelancers bidding for your booking.
Earning their way up
Guides start on group tours and move to small group and private with a strong record.
