taking kids' friends on college visits - smart or not?

<p>I took a friend of my younger daughter along on a college tour trip. She was interested in one of the two schools we were visiting. Her mom had just died and dad worked fulltime. She came along on the tour, and the interviewer had her come in during my kid’s interview “to see what an interview is like”. During the interview it came up that my kid was involved in her high school gay/straight alliance and the interviewer mentioned that the (Catholic) college had a closeted gsa that they were keeping secret from the bishop.</p>

<p>As it ended up, neither girl went to the school they were both interested in, and my kid ended up at the above school. After the first semester started, the admissions counselor ran into my kid and asked where her “partner” ended up going.</p>
