<p>Her second year, D shared a fantastic dorm room, partly because she drew a high lottery number and got first choice. It was large, had 3 closets for 2 students, and a fireplace. It was also on the ground floor on the corner of a building close to the front door. In addition, D and her roommate were neat freaks, so their room was almost always picture perfect.</p>
<p>As you might imagine, their friends in Admissions frequently asked if they could use their room on their tours. However, even when students are willing to have their dorm room viewed, they had to coordinate to make sure they were there, awake, and not in the process of dressing/undressing, etc. They didn’t give tour guides the key to their room, and at least one of them was present during the tour. They also wanted to make sure no one tried to pick up any souvenirs of their tour while in their room, since all their belongings are there.</p>
<p>They coordinated and allowed tours when convenient, but are in college to study, take classes, go to work study jobs, etc., so obviously weren’t available for tours of every prospective student.</p>
