[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  I'm sorry, I did not mean we wanted to visit ALL of those schools!!  I was hoping to get suggestions on priorities for Trip 2.  We REALLY want to split the trip up.  Both parents (me, DH) want to have some alone time with DD (I won't get into reasons here but it's necessary) and both of us want to see some schools with her.  We can't both go together.  And PP did get it right, she is a UMC white girl. But, she is goes to a minority-majority school and most of her friends including her BF are NOT white.  She is concerned about the lack of diversity at some schools - so if anyone has a not-so-UMC-white-girl school to add, hit me up!  [/quote]

Why do you need alone time?  Just curious because college trips can be a good bonding time but there can also be stress and potential conflict. [/quote]

Yes true. But conflict or not she needs this to be just about her and parents alone.  We have a special needs child that takes priority the majority of the time.  And we can’t bring our other child with us or leave her home so it has to be her and one parent.  Our idea was to split the week.  But we are re-thinking.[/quote]

That makes sense! We split up some visits just one on one with our older child and had some nice trips.  I only asked because if you were trying to resolve some other issues with the older child college visits can be intense and might not be the best time.

Oh yeah totally agree.  No, that’s not the kind of alone time I’m looking for.  I just want it to be all about her, for once.  There will definitely be conflict.  She’s very stressed out about this - which is part of the reason I’m posting on an anonymous forum!  She won’t discuss it with me without getting totally stressed out or avoiding the subject!
