DS's school does it if you want if you schedule an appointment when you're doing you regular campus visit. If not, they do it prior to the interview. Very thorough and professional looking PowerPoint screen show. As for the interview, DS/DD is who they want to hear from, and sometimes people (including me at times) have the urge to jump in and fill in some missing blanks they perceive.
tuba143, glad to hear things went well. I look back at that day and was glad it was another opportunity to spend quality time with DS on the drive there and back, spend some more time checking out the campus, particularly since school was in session, and see how well he now handles himself as a young man. Made it a lot easier when I dropped him off there last month to get moved in and not spend a lot of time with useless and potentially embarrassing hovering. Hopefully that will get me some more time with him when he's home on breaks, although I sure most of his time will be like this past summer -- working out, spending time with his friends at the casinos (he's remarkably good at blackjack) and eating 5-8 times a day when he's not sleeping.
