[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We visited all 11 schools DD ultimately applied to. I think it’s really important. Especially if there is any thought of ED, you want to make sure you take in all available information before making that call. [/quote] +1 And ED or no ED, the available information includes things like what the dorms are like inside, what the surrounding town or city is like, how well maintained the campus seems to be, and many intangibles as well. Students will be living in these places for four years; they're choosing a home, in effect, and seeing whether it's too rural, too urban, no nightlife, too much nightlife, run down, well-kept, etc. --all affect day to day living. It's so easy for parents to forget that this a kid's home for what is a large chunk of a young life. Seeing it first-hand does provide information which might affect the student's happiness, and yes, how happy they are does affect how well they'll do there. [/quote]
