Are students allowed to give their friends college tours without being a tour guide?

<p>I have a few friends that may want to attend my college someday so I want to show them around my campus sometimes.</p>

<p>The problem is that I am not an official tour guide for the school and my question is can I give my friends a tour of my college without me being an offical college tour guide? Is it usually allowed?</p>

<p>Unless your school has some rule against it, I don’t see why not. How is it any different from them just showing up and wandering around exploring the campus themselves?</p>

<p>You can do whatever you want with your friends as long as you are not representing the university. They just get a different understanding of the university as opposed to what the university wants to say to them officially during a tour.</p>

<p>An official tour may have access to areas at specific times of the tour that you probably don’t have though.</p>

<p>If they were my friends, I would suggest they take the official tour in order for the university to have a record of them as having shown interest.</p>

<p>Of course you can. I don’t know a college that doesn’t permit an unofficial tour. It’s just showing people around.</p>

<p>I heard it’s a federal offense to do such things.</p>

<p>Of course.</p>

<p>If it’s against the rules, I’d do it anyways just to spite them for having such a dumb rule.</p>

<p>You must get permission from the commissar. Put your name on the waiting list to speak to your local Party representative.</p>

<p>You can do it, just don’t get caught.</p>

<p>With the exception of maybe some of those really strict religious colleges that won’t let people talk to the opposite sex or hold hands (eek), I can’t imagine a college even having such a rule as “don’t show your friends around without an official admissions tour guide leading your group”…</p>
