[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a dorm room. What's, really, to see?[/quote]

[b]A lot actually. [/quote][/b]

It meant more to our children than to us.  Gettysburg showed us freshman dorms and that did it for DC right there.  They were awful, smelly, messy and rank.  Drexel didn't show dorms at all - we had a poor tour guide.  A nice room tour might have changed DD's view of the trip but we thought the whole presentation was terrible.  Dickenson showed two girls (who had been warned) in their room.  That was nice and welcoming.  Occidental College wouldn't show any (they are triples; I think that is why).  GMU showed off a lived-in room that was nice.  Wash. & Lee didn't show anything (few dorms there have AC).  Va Tech was the only one with a dedicated model room available to visit anytime, but our tour was late in the year - maybe a few people had dropped out so they could then create a room.  It does make a difference for the applicants because it gives them an idea of how to visualize them in that room in that university.[/quote]
