[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's fun?  My DD and I had a great time touring colleges.  OP, you do you and MYOB.[/quote]

+1 It also helped get my DD more interested in the college application process. It's different from reading about it in a book or looking at the website. And, after distance learning she absolutely hates watching online lectures/info sessions. She also wants to study environmental science so the actual environment the college is in and the facilities they have is really important to her. Those often aren't featured on the website. I will say I'm not going to make an effort to visit reach schools. The most important thing is figuring out targets/likelies you can love so focus on that. If she happens to get into a reach, we'll visit after.

Visiting a few LACs, it helped her to see that even if the student body is smaller than her HS, it's still a college and not at all like HS. And, she likes that better than the huge schools she visited with DS (who ended up at VT). [/quote]
