[civsa] Length of tours

[Tedgie Morgan]

Hi Tiffany,

Our campus tours at SIU Carbondale last approximately 45-60 minutes, and
students see mostly the center of campus. We offer a separate housing tour
that last approximately 30-45 minutes, and is offered at a different time
than the campus tour(s).

We have strongly considered extending our campus tour to 1½ - 2 hours so
that visitors can see our Recreation Center, athletic facilities, etc., but
have not made that change as of yet.

I look forward to hearing back from any others that have input on this
topic!

Best,
tedgie
