[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One really good question to ask a tour guide is “who is your favorite professor?” I actually work in a university and I have discovered from touring campus with my own kids that ideally a tour guide will describe a good relationship with this person - he took us on a field trip, read multiple drafts of my thesis, worked with me to find resources, had us all over to her house for pizza. At a big impersonal school this question helps you to gauge if there is any personal interaction with professors or TAs.[/quote]

A field trip? Over to their house for pizza? [/quote]
MOh, you must have gone to a large impersonal school.

My kid wanted a small LAC. We often heard stories of people doing things like dog sitting for their professors. At my kid’s eventual choice, the History of Food prof had the whole class over to cook the food that was the focus  of their final paper, with his family. My DD made fondue. She has many memories like this from her undergrad experience (including another prof taking members of the Wildlife Society to his favorite herping spot in the woods on the night of the Vernal equinox! )[/quote]
