Vivaday is the first platform of its kind. Built to give college-bound families honest, unfiltered insights straight from real college students, not university marketing departments. We all know those glossy brochures and rehearsed campus tours tend to sound the same, simply designed to get students “in the door,” not to help them make the right decision.

But every college experience has nuances that can make or break your choice. Vivaday was created by students who learned that the hard way — after transferring schools when they realized they’d been “sold” on the wrong fit. So, we decided to build a better way.

Vivaday pays real college students to answer your specific questions, from academics and majors to campus culture, to even the pros and cons of a schools social life. Ask the your burning questions and get an honest and personalized video response before you commit, and make more confident, informed college decisions.
