[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vanderbilt--had high expectations but the information session was terrible. 3rd year did the entire presentation and talked in a robotic voice. Tour was also terrible (even though campus is pretty), tour guide did not seem to know basic things about the campus and we did not go inside any academic buildings.

Duke--we had a picture perfect day and fantastic tour guide and information session.  Students hanging out outside, playing frisbee, and just generally being social which my daughter really wants.

Elon--had no idea about the school and visited on a whim but was really impressed with how intentional the information session and tour was . ([b]their tour guides are paid though)[/b]. [/quote]

I think all tour guides are paid now - it's a campus job.  It's not the 90s anymore; students are paid for their work.[/quote]

At my DC's school there is a lot of competition and a thorough vetting process to get tour guide jobs.  After all, tour guides are the public-facing representation of the school to prospective students.[/quote]
