[quote=Anonymous]Definitely spring break because colleges are typically in session.  When we went last spring break only one was on break. My DCs found the summer tours much less useful.  We did a northern driving tour. We hit Philadelphia, Boston, NH/VT and NY. We saw 8 colleges in 7 days but with 2 days of no visits to break it up. We had 3 days with 2 visits and 2 days with one visit. That would have been too much without the no visit days. We tried to stay as close to campus as possible, eat a meal on campus or in town, go to the bookstore, walk around on our own, etc.  Generally this worked out pretty well and we didn't feel rushed because even on the two visit days we were in the town the night before or the night after.

DC ended up applying to 4 of the 8 (as well some others we saw on other visits, plus 3 that we didn't visit and DC will visit if accepted and interested in attending).

Definitely book tours in advance as we found most of the schools mobbed since every high school junior seemed to be on break. Some do get booked up. We definitely saw several of the same families at more than one school.[/quote]
