[quote=Anonymous]It has been a few years now, but I did 14 college visits with my daughter when she was looking at schools to play soccer. She would do the "soccer" tour with the coaches and players, and I would hang out -- do the regular tour, eat in a cafeteria etc. . . On the drives (did not fly to any) back we would compare notes. After about 4 or 5 campus visits she got really good at the process, and I got into comparing. It was interesting how different schools that you would think were quite similar gave off very different impressions. Only once did my impression differ from her impression. We learned then (she was our 2nd to go off to college) how important time on campus was to the process. A tour is not enough. You need to be there in the evening, and in the morning. How safe is it? Where do people hang out? Go to the main off campus retail/restaurant area. [/quote]
