[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, can I suggest not during Junior year?  It's a full load often and one of the most important for grades.  With COVID, lots of kids did virtual tours and then only visited the ones that they got into - some colleges are still encouraging that. [/quote]
You can suggest LOL, but junior year is [i]the[/i] time for tours. Sorry, earlier does not make sense. Senior year they can hopefully squeeze in a couple in the fall if needed, but that is also a tough time.

Virtual tours are not nearly as helpful as in-person. My twin freshmen are both attending schools they had only seen virtually when they applied. One did not set foot on campus until he started school and while it's ok, it's quite possible he would not have chosen this school if he had been able to visit in person, particularly if he had been able to visit one of his alternatives that he didn't know much about - their virtual tour was terrible and he was not convinced, though I've been there in person myself.[/quote]
