School-sponsored campus tours will give you a healthy dose of “our school has quirky traditions!” stories and a view of the most beautiful 10 percent of campus. But what do you really need to know about college life?

We’ve got you covered with behind-the-scenes campus tours created by students—not admissions officers—that show what their colleges are like from the inside. Where do students go at 2:00 a.m. on a Saturday night? What do the not-so-nice dorms look like? What mispronunciation is a dead giveaway that you’re a freshman?

Take a look at our favorite new campus tours on Unigo:
