[quote=Anonymous]"You all have too much time on your hands. All of this touring is unnecessary. Your kid is looking for a college, not a marriage partner. Relax." Agree 100%! Wait until you've been accepted. Take them to see a small private school, a large public football school, and mid-size private and public. ANY school that meets the four categories. Include a rural if you're urban and vice versa. They need to know which vibe they're after. AFTER they've been admitted, you can have them tour the 2-3 top ones. The exception is if you're applying ED, in which case you should visit. The selective schools will do all the work for you by rejecting your child and making a visit unnecessary. MAKE SURE that your child is applying to at least 2 schools that they are almost certain to be admitted to and that you can afford. That is where your time and energy needs to be focused right now.
