Tours: Making the Most
written by Arlene Matthews
2. Step 1: Note administrative subtleties
- Does the cashier let that penny slide at
lunch?
- Does the college charge a ton for parking?
3. Step 2: Read School Papers
- Find school newspapers and bulletin boards
- This will outline social issues students are
concerned with
- Learn about a school’s non-academic life
4. Step 3: Information Sessions
- Learn generally about the school
- This will provide time to think of smarter
questions
5. Step 4: Find the Best Guide
- If you’re with a confused, stuck-up, or
overly-scripted tour guide, join another tour
- Get the most out of the tour
- You’re never forced to stay with one
6. Step 5: Be Wary of “Traditions”
- You will hear the same spiels about “bad
luck” by stepping on the seal at many
different schools
7. Step 6: Find classes in session
- Drop into a class
- Observe student activities to learn more
about student life
- Try to learn about the “normal activities” of
the average college students
8. Step 7: Get off the tour
- Explore the campus on your own
- Spy on student activities to see “what really
goes on”
- Observe random students in action
