[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only one of my four kids had any interest in touring colleges before applying. We indulged her, but without joining her on her tours because we weren't the ones going to college.  Yes, in the end, it probably helped her make her decision -- but for mature reasons, not for silly ones like clicking with the tour guide, liking the food, or discovering that the ag school made its own ice cream.  She sat in on a classes in her intended major, etc.  That made sense to us, but we didn't need to be there for it.

The other three kids never took a college tour.  No interest.

All four went to very good colleges and did just fine.  [/quot

Your story makes me sad for your daughter. Like you did not have enough interest to tour the schools with her. To share her excitement about where she might wind up.

Would you not help her pick out  a wedding dress, because "it is her wedding?"

Just a totally different approach to family and parenting than in our house.
