My daughter has a “mirror” point of view on showing an occupied dorm room during the tour. She was on campus early for her sport last year. Her room was on the first floor of what is generally regarded as the “best” first year dorm. All of the tours came through her dorm and down her hall so she was often asked if it was okay for the tour to see her room. Except for one time, she agreed-I imagine her room generally looked okay, although probably not “display ready”. The one time she said “No” she was returning from a tough practice and was hot, exhausted, and frustrated-she just wanted to draw the blinds, get undressed, and lie down with the fan on. She said she got a couple of shocked parental looks, but that one dad laughed in sympathy.
