What Are Experts Are Saying?

• I like this. Sweet! - Shawn, college bound
  freshman and unsolicited DORMtours customer.
• While traditional means such as scholarships are
  still an important recruiting tool, were finding
  more and more students make living arrangements
  part of their criteria when choosing a college.
  - W.D. Wassan, Associate Vice President Student
  Enrollment, University of Texas.
• Ten students more or ten students less can make
  the difference between a budget working or not
  working. Kathleen Dawley, President Maguire
  Associates.
• The last group of students I met with made a
  point of telling me how our dorms looked exactly
  as they did on the DORMtours CD we sent them. It
  definitely made them more comfortable which
  helped them choose our college. It definitely
  worked!
• Thanks for the DORMtours CD. They were a great
  addition to our package! Angela Grubert,
  Admission Director, Clark University
