Do you ask a date what salary they make at their job? Do you ask a new client or vendor about whether they get along with certain family members?[/quote]

Not PP, but those questions aren’t the same. I didn’t hear OP saying that parents were asking the tour guide about aid packages or about their families. [/quote]
Exactly. We know they are applying to college. That is a fact. No secret there. If someone asks where they are applying they can say something like, “honestly it’s kind of stressful and I’m not talking about it until I know what my options are” and then smile and proceed with the tour or they can come up with some other thing to say with out really answering. But I do think it builds character to be able to handle these sorts of questions. People used to ask me all the time when I was in the middle of my thesis, what are you going to do after? So annoying in the moment but not an inappropriate question just because I was stressed about finishing at the time. They were making conversation or actually curious. [/quote]
