<p>betterday55's post in one of the threads got me thinking. If you've been on a campus tour of Emory with a student guide, was it a good/helpful experience? Are you still friends with your tour guide?</p>
<p>We are awesome.</p>
<p>(I'm a tour guide). ;)</p>
<p>And I totally won't be offended if you have critism/negative experiences written here.</p>
<p>Why would we be friends with the tour guide? They don't ask your name and the group is so large. I mean, he was nice enough, but not THAT nice!</p>
<p>The tour I went on was nice, but I felt bad because I knew more about the school than the tour guide. I think at one point she was a bit annoyed... I didn't go on it because I needed to know more information about Emory, rather I just wanted to "show interest". </p>
<p>There is no question that the best thing about Emory is how much money the school has.</p>
<p>So how do an Emory student become a tour guide?</p>
<p>you send an application</p>
<p>There was already a meeting yesterday, but if you're interested LL Jean Erickson. :-)
I'm a tour guide too, and I kind of wanted to make sure there aren't urban legends circulating about a crazy Emory tour guide who makes her tour groups on Saturday mornings do jumping jacks to wake up. ;-)</p>
<p>Actually, my tour group was extremely small. I think there were like 4 people in it.</p>
<p>Ya...the number of people on the tour can differ drastically day to day. Sometimes I'll have about 20 people on it, but I've also given tours with just 1 or 2 families.</p>
<p>Are freshmen allowed to be tour guides? And can you pick what days and time you want to be a guide?</p>
<p>my tour guide was awesome, we chatted for a while cuz my brother is in her grade at emory also so she knew him, it was pretty cool</p>
