Visiting the college cafeteria might not be a highly promoted stop on the tour, but it is a vital part. The difference between eating outside alone on a park bench and finding a full table with a spirited conversation can help a student decide on their next steps.
When my son stepped away from me on a different campus, sat down at a table, and had a real conversation with current students, I knew he had found the right school.
He learned that someone else at the table watched UFC every Saturday night, and another person enjoyed lifeguarding every summer. He couldn't remember the food on the plate but could recall every conversation detail.
If prospective students cannot see themselves at one of the tables, want to sit down with a group, or otherwise find someone who could be their friend, that college might not be the best fit.
