For graduate school, I went off a recommendation from a past student I met at work.
Both worked out.
It still seems odd to me that people visit so many schools before they go. Lol
+1. Some people make their kids visit school before they apply! Mind blowingly stupid. Have a 17 year old "fall in love" with a school based on some random observations, and then watch them crush in disappointment come decision time. Why do people do this to their own kid is beyond me. Get your acceptances first, then visit your top 2-3 choices among your
acceptances. That's what we did. Worked out well.
