[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As much as we often feel like our students are all competing for spots at top colleges, please remember that colleges re also competing for your students. A college tour is a marketing presentation. For the most part, they tell you what they want to tell you and show you what they want to show you. It's not like you are getting a "secret underground" tour of the college - "What U of state doesn't want you to know!" - showing you the roach infestation in the back cafeteria kitchen or the dorm the was flooded and is still moldy 2 years later.

A college tour is a marketing presentation. Tour guides are part of the college's marketing machine, paid or not. It is just gross for people to try to sell you on a college and then ask for tips. It's like touring an open house of a home for sale, and the realtor asking for tips at the end. I mean, wtf, no![/quote]

You are free not to tip but there's nothing wrong with some of that don't mind tipping young students who might be in need of money. [/quote]
No. It's just wrong & underhanded. If you are too poor to work a volunteer position. Don't volunteer! [/quote]
