Let’s see I think I have been on 7 or 8 campus tours and I mostly only asked questions to move the spiel along, tried to laugh at the appropriate places, etc. My D22 didn’t ask many questions either, but she absorbed it all and just walking around campus was super helpful for her. Later during admitted student sessions we did have breakout sessions for the parents for financial aid, etc, but D22 really did not want me talking a lot when she was around. Most of the other parents on these various tours did not ask many questions either. They really want to hear from the kids. If I wanted them to talk about something they weren’t addressing, dorms, or food, or whatever, I might ask something, but mostly in my D22’s view I was just supposed to provide transport and fade into the background.
