[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]not this year, but UVA. Bubbly sorority girl tour guide totally turned my daughter off. I'm sure there is a crowd that isn't like that, but she was really completely turned off.[/quote]

Interestingly, the tour guides can make a difference as you say, PP. Toured W&M twice (DH wanted to see it and hadn't been with us the first time, and DC was interested in seeing it again), and one guide was mellow but very informative, while the other was not so much either.

At UVA, did you know it's possible (at least it was pre-pandemic) to get tours of specific parts of the university? We got a private tour--well, no one else signed up!--of the "arts campus" part of UVA which is not on the regular tours. It did make DC consider UVA much more than DC was inclined to do otherwise. Didn't end up applying but I can see how touring something other than the usual stuff would attract students with specific interests. We found that specialized tour online and I remember there were other similar tours of science departments as well. [/quote]
