Pet Peeve1: Tour guides who tell you everything at good old Whattsamatta U is “great”. Food - “The Greatest”, Dorms - “The Best”, Profs - “Just So Super”, Student Torture Chamber - “Best in the Country”. There’s no transfer of useful information if everything is “perfect”.



I second that pet peeve. I remember a tour at Princeton where the guide was incredibly chipper and kept saying how wonderful everything was. I asked her what had surprised her most about Princeton compared to what she had expected and she said nothing - it was totally as wonderful as she had expected!
