Host: Should my child be the one asking questions when meeting with someone from the admissions office?

Andrew Battaile: When you visit a school and you meet with someone in the admissions office, you might feel your child might be too young to handle an interview style atmosphere. You might want to have that protective instinct taking over and asking all the questions. It is good for you to ask questions and you are always more than welcome to but make sure that your child has input and speaks with people in the admissions office so that the personnel there can get a feel for your child and get to know them a little bit.
