[quote=Anonymous]Tour guides definitely matter! I've done 2 tours of Oberlin in the past year and whoa- having a great tour guide who your kid clicks with makes all the difference. Our first tour was a "wow, this is a perfect fit" and the second was "generic tour, nothing stood out" experience. DD also had an abysmal tour at Wesleyan, where the guide went on and on about how they were going to "get out in 3 years" and was completely unknowledgeable about basic info. Their student panel was great, however- if we had just done the tour, D26 wouldn't have even bothered applying. I agree w/above posters on BU, too- that's such an urban campus that a tour is definitely needed to decide if it's for your kid. After 20+ tours over the years, my favorite was Duke- probably because the tour guide was such an articulate, funny kid who obviously loved it there. [/quote]
