Every College Tour is the Same: Boring

As he tours colleges with his daughter, writer Marek Fuchs says he’s come to realize that all college tours are boring and essentially the same. He writes a guest column in the Wall Street Journal with suggestions on how to improve college tours. For one, he says, don’t let parents and kids take the same tour. Use random kids from campus to lead the tours, instead of highly-trained guides. And let the tours see the campus at night, where much of the excitement takes place.
