Are there any colleges that are (1) open the weekend of Jan 3 (or have some activity), or (2) even though they are not open, may be worthwhile to visit during that time?
We have a free weekend that weekend. Prefer if it's a place we can fly to from a Southern city, and uber around (and not rent a car). |

| You have to look at admissions pages of colleges you are interested in. I suspect no one is around but you won’t know til you look |

| There will always be someone around. If you're okay with seeing a student or two hanging around and workers in a student center, business office or somewhere |

| The university libraries might be open |

| I would expect it to be very quiet unless you pick one that has a J term or otherwise has classes that Monday. What schools is your student interested in? |

| Staff will be there, but no students, unless the school has a J term. |

Tried google? |

| Google to see which schools have J-terms. They're more likely to have things going on that early in January. |

Many schools on the quarter system will be starting class that Monday, Jan 5. So kids will be heading back to campus that weekend.
Check the calendars, but off the top of my head Northwestern, U Chicago, Dartmouth, Carleton and all the UC schools might work. |

| You could do a self-guided walking tour of the university. They probably have a self-guided tours on their website. |

| If you do the self guided tour and click the box online, it still counts for demonstrated interest at Davidson. And maybe Rice. |
