[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. If you visit in summer when campuses are gorgeous the students aren’t there but if you go when the students are there in the winter or early spring the weather will scare them away.

Wish we could do more spring visits but my junior will have tons of exams and year end projects. Oh well! [/quote]

They should see the weather they will face (which is not usually summer weather). Believe me, a freezing spring storm scared my daughter from Mt. Holyoke, but I thought that was legit (because those are not rare in Western Mass).

I think seeing kids on campus is well worth it. An empty campus has little personality. 
Putting the pandemic aside (ie, in future years) , I also strongly recommend overnight visits for accepted students.

I do wish high schools and colleges could agree on some schedule so that high school kids would be allowed stress-free visits (i.e., a break from AP classes for a week or something).

Good luck![/quote]
