Looking for student to do an Emory tour with our family

Hello-- my family is traveling from CA to visit Atlanta area schools Thanksgiving week. The tours on those dates literally filled to capacity the same day they were opened up (I checked every day!) We managed to get something at GA Tech and UGA for my son but my daughter is extremely interested in Emory and all that’s available is a self-guided tour with a map. I think Emory could be her first choice but she isn’t even going to get a feel for it that way.

Are there are any Emory folks out there (students or staff) that are interested in showing us around on November 23 please reach out. She is particularly interested in in Film/TV, Creative Writing, and QSS. (She’s done a virtual info session already). Thank you!

I am having the same issue (tours booked during Thanksgiving week) but at a different school in a different state. I am wondering if there is an opportunity for walk-ins. Of course it isn’t encouraged or promoted, but there just has to be people who don’t show up… and you’re in town visiting. Is there harm in stopping by to see if anyone no-shows?

I found a student to give my daughter a tour at Clemson on the parent Facebook page (had a ton of offers), they weren’t giving official tours at that time. You might want to try that route. We gave home $50.

My DD would not accept cash, but every family offered to take her out to a nice dinner where they were able to informally chat about the college.

how did you get access? The Emory Parent FB page is a private group. I can’t post.

I guess parents join. I see a lot of posts from parents of potential students, it’s a good way to get real information.
