[quote=Anonymous]We visited a few in DS's sophomore Spring break, focusing on getting a sense of big schools, small LACs, college town vs urban. This was really helpful in focusing his search in junior year because he came away with a strong preference for a big school in a college town. He's now happy at VT. I don't think a big trip is essential -- you could get at these preferences via some weekend/holiday visits to schools nearby. DD is a junior and tagged along on those visits and doesn't remember much but does have a sense that she'd prefer a smaller school. VT feels way too big to her so we've done a few LAC visits on days off school this year and will do more focused visits over spring break. Probably won't get to everything she applies to. If they don't fit our roadtrip area she can wait until after acceptances.[/quote]
