[quote=Anonymous]I would try to visit colleges, preferably in-state, in different settings - urban, suburban, rural/college town. Agree that student is more likely to fall in love with one of the first few campuses visited, so choose those wisely. Be careful that many universities now have student housing ranging from opulent to spartan - and that student housing plus meals often dwarfs the tuition/other fees expenses (see recent WSJ article on this). Best if student does not pick the college based on accidentally visiting the most opulent/tre expensive housing option of that school. Agree with not visiting a school one knows one cannot afford. If student has a good idea of likely/intended major, then be sure to filter for schools where that department is strong and has a good breadth of upper class departmental electives.[/quote]
