[quote=Anonymous]We just decided to do a northeast tour the summer before senior year, and get urban, suburban and rural colleges on the way. It was for our oldest, who had never spent much time on a college campus before, to get a feel for what they looked like, and to wake themselves up to the fact that they would not be living at home soon! He needed the boost to think about his college applications :-) Please try to only do registered tours, they're much more informative. Self-guided doesn't tell you much. Tours fill up fast, so plan in advance!

Then we visited for all the Admitted Student Days, and those were very useful to select the top contender. Colleges divulge more information at that time, including letting families eat the dining hall food and visiting dorms, or go to lectures, so that's when you really see what it's going to be like living there. Only a few colleges let you do that as a random visitor.

Our youngest accompanied us, and we'll probably not have to do it this way for her. She visits her brother on his campus regularly, and will probably do something more targeted when the time comes.[/quote]
