Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We got to see the campus during Spring break, so there were very few people on campus. Circumstances made it so that we could not enter some of the buildings (e.g., dining hall). Many buildings were inaccessible to the public, which is completely understandable. However, it would have been nice to gain special access through the tour, as we could have easily explored the campus from the outside by ourselves. Overall decent experience.
