My husband is also a college professor and is always more than happy to speak with prospective students, whether it be arranged in advance or spur of the moment. If he is in his office, he will drop everything to meet with the student and parents.

We also were on the other side of this situation when looking at colleges for S. After the tour at one school, we decided to go back to the science building to look around a little more since the tour wasn’t that great. We were met by a very enthusiastic professor from a department not of interest to S (I almost felt bad, the prof. was so looking for students!). When we said what we were looking for, he said “I’ll be happy to take you there and introduce you”. The prof. in S’s department was very welcoming and very helpful. Unfortunately, S was not taken with the rest of the school.
