[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I hear you and agree. But … - isn’t the best way to get a real sense via an actual scheduled tour? which basically removes the “casual” nature - this may be our only times in CA and NC before son applied to college, so shouldn’t we actually visit ones of interest even if they will be “reaches” (eg, ucla and pomona instead of pepperdine and ucsb)[/quote] It's a bit on the early side for info sessions and tours. You can do them if you like, but just be aware that he might not absorb the info quite the same way. Often a walk around campus, just to get sense of the physical place, would be the thing to do at this stage. Low-key, just swing by because you happen to be close. And with the caveat that you really can't get the vibe of what it's like with students if they're not around. If possible, some official visits this fall would be better, and also next summer as you already may be planning to do. [/quote]
