September 30, Monday
We made it right on time for our ASU tour at 8:15 AM and we had plenty of time. We checked in, got a picture with the Sun Devil mascot Sparky, got some info on the meal plan, and went to listen to the introductory meeting.
Next, we went to a presentation about Barrett Honors College and then to a presentation about student life. I liked their point that the students should get involved in something other than just their classes to help them manage their time. Then it was time to go to the liberal arts presentation and they had a student panel of current students to answer questions. I thought everything was really good. Even the introductory session gave a ton of great information. After the Liberal arts presentation, we went to the room where they had snacks and water for us to make our own little snack sack lunch, and then we waited for our tour to leave.
They took us to the library and then to Old Main. 
We walked down the palm walk which is lined with 120 palm trees and it looks gorgeous.
We went to the fitness center and saw their pool. Then we headed over to the Barrett Complex and we had new tour guides to show us around. They showed us a sample dorm room. I was pretty shocked at their prices. It's over $11,000 per academic year just for the dorm cost and then the meal plan is another $7000 or more. Daniel and I did the math and that comes out to more than $2100 per month since they're only in school for nine months. That was pretty shocking. I guess we'll have to see what kind of scholarship he gets. After that tour, we stopped back at the fitness center and then went to the car. We drove over to Paris Baguette and got some treats. After that, we went home. I'm so glad I got to go on this tour with him!
