[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think driving or walking through a campus when you're near for another reason (vacation, family visit etc) is totally fine and can be fun. My DD was recently in Dallas for a sports event and drove thru SMU with another family. She has no interest in the school, but it helped form her opinion about campus size and location (decided she likes in or near a city), likes a campus with grass/trees and something like a quad (vs more urban campus like GW). [/quote] This. Make it incidental to other travel. And, as someone upthread suggested, don't start with Harvard and Princeton. Instead, try to group different types of schools together. Go to Philadelphia and walk UPenn/Drexel/Temple and then go out to Haverford/Swartmore and then stop at Delaware or UMD on the way back. It can be done in a long day without formal tours, but you get a sense of big/small/urban, rural and suburban.[/quote]
