[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with everyone claiming visits are a waste of time. Perhaps people are saying this now...because they can’t visit? Consoling themselves? We started out with a long list of possibilities, and the visits really helped us narrow that down: How did we like the trip from home? How was the food in the dining hall? The dorms? The distances between things on campus? Safety of the surrounding neighborhood? Were there Dining/shopping options nearby? A shuttle to the airport or shopping? Any wow features? (We saw a farm, lakeside Field station, ice cream shop run by the Ag students, equestrian center, arboretum, waterfront) How did the kids interact on campus? How did they dress? Were faculty generous with their time? These are just some examples, but they helped my child figure out whether she would be comfortable in her new home.[/quote] With the possible exception of your last item, I've never seen a more superficial list in my life.
