College questions? Ask someone who goes there.

Book a 20-minute video call with a current student at a college you're considering.

An iced coffee, a navy sweatshirt, orange headphones, keys with a smiley keychain, and a notebook that reads: trying to picture myself here… fav coffee spot? hard to get into clubs? a typical tuesday?
  • What are weekends like?
  • How did you find your friends?
  • What's your favorite campus tradition?
  • Is it easy to make friends outside Greek life?
  • How intense is the workload?
  • Is housing hard to find?
  • What do you wish you'd known freshman year?
  • Does campus feel competitive or collaborative?
  • Is it a backpack school?
  • For parents: what surprised you most about the transition?

How it works (it's easy)

  1. Step 1: Pick a school.

    Search the colleges on your list.

    66 schools and counting
  2. Step 2: Pick a person.

    Read real student intros. Choose who you click with.

    real people, no scripts
  3. Step 3: Pick a time.

    Book 20 minutes on their own calendar.

    $29 for 20 minutes
  4. Step 4: Ask anything.

    Bring your questions, and a parent if you want.

    ...only if you want

Get to know a school through someone who calls it home.

Whether you're building your college list or deciding where to go, there's more to the choice than rankings and campus tours. Talk with a current student about friendships, professors, classes, weekends, and whatever matters to you—so you can picture your life there and feel more confident about your next step.

You don't need to know someone who goes there. That's why we're here.

For parents

Parents have questions too.

Book your own call with a current student, no teenager required. Ask about safety, support, workload, or what surprised them freshman year.
