Campus tours have practical utility for students looking to choose one college over another. Visiting a campus helps gauge "fit" outside of the answers to predetermined questions like "Should I attend a public or private school?", "Does XYZ University have my major?", or "Does this school have a good football team?" I've heard of students falling in love with a college based on information provided on the school's website and brochures, only to refuse to get out of the car when they actually visit campus. Yes, this actually happens. Not that I blame the colleges or the students; those marketing materials paint the college in the best possible light, while hiding all the flaws.
