Schooled is your key to gaining the insight you need about the colleges you and your family are considering. Our matching algorithm connects you with the people who share the most in common with you at your prospective universities. Then, you can schedule a time to meet up with your host to learn about life as a college student during a personalized tour. See the buildings where you'll spend the next four years, learn more about the clubs and organizations that matter to you, and get the questions that you really want answered from your match at your potential future home! Schooled tours make prospective students and their families more aware of the universities they end up attending, and alleviate the risk of attending colleges without the clarity into whether or not it is the right choice for them. Features: Prospective Students and Families - MATCHING: Receive a list of your closest matches and see what similarities you share! - BOOKING: Book a tour at a time that works for you, your family, and your guide, at your campus! - CHAT: When your guide has accepted your request, use our integrated messaging to coordinate meetup location, and tour specifics ahead of time!
