<p>When we were touring Cal Tech, we also did the Warner Brothers Studio Tour in Burbank less than half an hour away - very interesting for the whole family. The tour guide tries to personalize the tours a little to accomodate the taste of his or her group. We had a lot of Gilmore Girls fans so got to see a lot of those sets. DH and I were in Pasadena another time and greatly enjoyed the Norton Simon Museum.</p>
<p>DS’s tour of Cal Tech is what decided him against applying. He didn’t like the suggestion of English boarding school ambience for one thing. He did love Stanford; we all did; but alas they didn’t love him as much.</p>
