Question
What should I wear on college campus tours?

Answer
Hi Benni
 While there is no official rule on what to wear/not to wear, it is probably a good idea to look casual but pulled together.  There's no need for suits or anything dressy; khakis and a nice shirt would be fine.  Wear whatever is comfortable for you as long as you look preseentable, especially if you are going to have an interview with one of the admissions officers. And comfortable shoes are a must- you'll probably be doing a lot of walking while visiting a campus.  Have fun!
