Touring a college more than one time

[Anonymous]

Don’t visit again to impress the school. Do visit again if it might help you. We visited my DD’s top three schools twice. Each visit had a reason — to interview, sit in on a class, and/or to let the other parent see it. Helped her decide where to ED and to feel confident in her choice.

I don't think it will make a difference on whether or not she will be admitted.

But it might make a difference on whether or not it is "the one" school for her.

My son toured his top choice school for the first time in the winter of his junior year of high school It was snowy (and a bit miserable, weather wise) and he loved it.

He wanted to tour it again about 10 months later in the fall. It was beautiful weather and again, he loved it. I think it's a good idea to see the school at different times of year, if it's not a hardship to get to the school.

My son was accepted at the school, but I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that he visited twice.
