How It Works
We take your college list and travel dates and create a travel itinerary with a day on each campus with a variety of activities tailored to the interests of the student. We book the best places for you to stay near campus and arrange for your transportation whether it be by plane, private car, or train.
We coordinate and compile all the details of your trip, such as directions from one campus to the next, parking, confirmation numbers, hotel information and amenities, class visit descriptions, and professor biographies, into a start to finish itinerary.
Everything goes into a convenient app, which allows for easy access while you’re on the road.
