[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anyone who actually does this. Most people can't afford to take time off of work and travel around visiting potential schools. [b]This is very much an affluent person thing.[/b]

Do you think that some colleges are really sneaky traps just pretending to be colleges? And by the time you enroll, it's too late, and there is no escape until you get to Shanghai?[/quote]Nonsense.  Penn offers shadow days and a short driving distance.  Use your spring break and some imagination.  Many schools, while in session, offer Saturday tours and classroom visits AND there are classes in session.

Understandable if you're traveling to the west coast which can be costly but if traveling along the east coast, mid-Atlantic, and south east, Southwest and Jet Blue have bargain tickets.  Try taking advantage of the days off from school.  Of course, you don't have to visit every school but certainly you can give up one or two vacations days from work for something so important.  Geez![/quote]
