[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About to make our first round of college visits over spring break and curious to hear from experienced parents if you and your child felt that the official guided tours were a valuable experience or not? In my personal travels I'm not one for guided or packaged experiences, preferring to discover things on my own just by exploring and talking to people. But perhaps the tours provide access to places and insights I can't get to on my own.

What would you recommend as the best way to experience a campus on a short visit?

Whether you do the official tour or not, your child should connect with the admissions office - even just through the online form.

Schools track students who visit - and some track things like campus visits to gauge a student's interest in the school (also whether emails from the schools are opened, links clicked, etc). They want to accept students who really want to be at their isntitution and are likely to commit if accepted. Not a big factor by any stretch but a close call might go with the student who has shown more interest in them.
