Times where college tours made you wonder

From what I remember, colleges that were sort of local tourist attractions, often had a more professionalized campus tour program. In particular, I remember Notre Dame and Catholic University in DC having really great tours and great tour guides. Those older colleges in rural areas, with old chapels, art museums, nice quads and student unions, concert halls, etc., would fit too.

At the Universities all the tour guides plus all of the other students/adult connected with tours/orientation wore matching outfits. It certainly made it easy to find someone to answer any questions.

Several of my college roommates worked in admissions for work study, and did prospective student tours...my sister did the same when she was in undergrad half a dozen years later at a different school. In both those instances, there was a required dress code for work...non-ripped jeans/khakis, and a shirt or coat displaying the school name or logo. They didn't have a uniform, but it was expected that they'd be neatly groomed and wearing school-branded attire.
