<p>I can understand the security concern, and I’m not saying they’re wrong not to show dorms. But other schools do manage to do it somehow, and I highly doubt the likes of Georgetown, Swarthmore, Washington & Lee, NYU, and Lafayette are less concerned for their student’s welfare than the Ivies are. Maybe they’ve just developed a good system? The LAC’s are less famous and probably do receive fewer visitors than HYP, though our Harvard tour group was one of the smallest I’ve had on any campus visit. Also, many LAC’s suspend tours after mid-November until mid-March, so all their visitors are crammed into a few months. That might erase the numbers discrepancy a bit.</p>
