[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JMU and VT don't show dorm rooms [/quote]

We did a tour of JMU last spring, and they showed us a dorm room.[/quote]

At the September 30th open house, they didn't show dorm room. In fact, they don't take us inside any building at all except for the student center (can't remember the building name). It was pretty much the most worthless tour we've done yet. [/quote]

If at all possible, I'd recommend NOT hitting schools on open house days. Unfortunately, you're likely to have a much better experience when it's less crowded.[/quote]

I disagree.  When you visit for the usual admissions presentation and tour, you are unlikely to meet any faculty or students from your college of interest, you may or may not be permitted in the dining halls, and your access to buildings will be whatever you see on the tour.  When we visited on "Junior Day" or other big programs that happen once or twice each year, we toured individual colleges in addition to the general tour, we heard student panels from different majors, we talked to campus ministries, student organizations, athletics, etc.  The big events were much more valuable to us than the usual tour and 30 minute powerpoint.[/quote]
