<p>This actually is not at all unusual, and my guess is that this is the case for probably more than 50% of colleges in the US (best paying on campus job as a nude model, I mean). It was certainly the case where I went to undergrad and where most of my friends did.</p>
<p>I never did it, but I had friends who did. They said usually it was fine, sometimes it was awkward if someone you knew personally was in the class, or if you ran into someone in the dining hall right after class.</p>
<p>Got a parking ticket once, when I parked in the Admissions parking lot. Apparently someone thought my son’s backpack looked like he was a student. (Dah! He was, but only a hs student)</p>
<p>Another time, one of my kids completely nixed a college because the dorms were too smelly. It was summertime and the dorms needed to be aired out.</p>
<p>And one time, while visiting a DC city university, a student there saw us touring and made a bee-line in our vacinity. Then he whispered really loudly so most of us could hear, “Don’t go here. Don’t go here!”</p>
<p>Visiting Bryn Mawr, waiting for the tour to start. In a beautiful, elegant, hushed room – every women’s college stereotype to the max. You can imagine sipping tea and discussing Great Books.</p>
<p>All of a sudden, my iPhone gets a mind of its own and spontaneously turns on to the last song I’d had on when working out earlier that day --That’s Not my Name by the Ting Tings. At full volume. And it won’t turn off, no matter what I do.</p>
<p>Not to derail the thread, but my college BF nude modeled for art classes at our University 30 years ago. 
It did pay pretty well.</p>
<p>Tufts information session…all anxious, stressed out looking parents and bored looking hs students…Mum in front raises hand and asks…“my son got a 730 on Biology SAT II test in 9th grade, should he take it again?” Several kids make the gag sound…my son whispers loudly…“I am so glad to have you for parents”…this despite my husband’s behavior at a Carnegie Mellon information session. When they put up the slide with tuition and fees, H turned to us and said in spanish "est</p>
<p>My S wore a college tshirt from College X to a tour of College Y, which I didn’t discover until we were at Y – and of course he didn’t see a problem! Sigh.</p>
<p>I think Caltech won over the worm when he visited. They gave him a CS tour guide (his intended major), who walked backwards in flip flops, who seemed to have many friends,… The had a list of classes for him to attend, and wanted him to visit the next day. When he was busy with his classes, I went on a tour of the architecture. I was shown the dorm with the staircases that seemingly lead to nowhere and the murals all over walls.A room had one bed and dresser on floor, the other bed, dresser, and couch were suspended at various heights to the ceiling. It felt like Hogwarts magic.</p>
<p>Now that we are allowed to post youtube links, I am delighted to add this to the thread. This prank at Dartmouth was pulled on an unsuspecting tour group. It has to rank as one of the most elaborate and funniest pranks ever pulled in a situation like this.</p>

<p>On our recent tour of Duke, one of the fellow prospective students also on the tour jumped all of the stairs. For example, if the stairs were descending, he would leap from the very top to the bottom of the stairs. Every staircase we encountered. S exchanged glances with us every time - we all found it rather odd!</p>
