[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try not to get caught up in your own excitement/preferences. Ask your kid how they feel from time to time and gauge their reaction. I loved one of the schools we visited for admitted student day but my kid was lukewarm. Colleges are putting their best foot forward for admitted student days, but they are valuable for getting a feel for the campus vibe. See how crowded or not-crowded the library is. See how well-attended campus events are that weekend. See how the kids sit together or don’t sit together in the dining halls. And just strike up conversations with the kids who are already there- ask them about their major, their activities, etc. most will be happy to talk about experience. [/quote] Great tips! Thanks! It's going to take a lot of nudging to get my kid to strike up a conversation with college kids, but if it's important enough for him, I think he'll do it. Is it weird if a parent asks the college kids questions? [/quote]
