[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I disagree with all of these naysayers.. As long as the point of this trip is to get a sense of what your DC likes and doesn't like (as opposed to letting DS fall in love with any particular school), Boston is a great place to start a college search because of the density of colleges of different sizes/locations.  I'd suggest looking at Brandeis and Tufts for mid-size suburban, Northeastern and BU for large urban (both of which give merit) and [b]definitely look at MIT and Harvard because why not?[/b]  We did these in 3 days last year (my DC did not want to look at any of the Northampton schools though if you have the ability to tack on an extra day, I'd encourage you to go out there or to Burlington to look at UVM or UMass just to see if he likes large public schools).

If you decide to stick with the Boston schools, I agree with the folks that said you don't need a car--Uber out to Brandeis and stick with walking/taking the T.

Good luck.[/quote]

Because OP cannot pay for MIT or Harvard.

I don't go looking at Lamborghinis and mansions when I need a new car or house.  It would be nonsensical.[/quote]

If OP can't pay for MIT or Harvard they likely can't pay for any Boston school. Why go at all?[/quote]
