They shouldn’t but they do. The tour guides are important - no getting around it. . |
I would look at Williams and if interested in a single sex school, Smith and Wellesley. |
When we went back to NU, Vanderbilt and Cornell for admitted students day, very different campus. It was a like a different school. The tour guides are doing it for $$$ not bc they want to. If your high school has a kid there, make sure your kid meets up with them. Best intel will be from them. |
Well of course Cornell and NU are very different for admitted students day…it isn’t freezing and dreary. |
I mean we got about $15/tour. It was $ not $$$. |

Right, so even less reason to be enthusiastic about that particular gig. |
The tours we went in at every school were generally meh, other than Wake Forest and USC. You can figure out vibes in other ways. |

The original tours weren’t in the winter tho. Honestly, some of the tour guides are just nerdy and not social and unable to carry a conversation. The most “normal” people on campus are not doing tours at any of these schools. |
What was special about your Wake tour? Ours was your typical info session and tour. Guide was fine, but there was nothing unique about the tour in any way. |

Sounds like a you problem. |
Bad suggestions for intellectual environment. I’d look at Swarthmore and Hamilton first. |
Strong in-state options in Maryland? LOL. Bad trolling. |
The kids doing tours were seniors, extremely knowledgeable, super talkative and extroverted and engaging with the group. Seemed to know everyone on campus that walked by. |
