College Visits Options

General discussion.
Where are you visiting or planning to visit? Where have you visited?

This summer, I'm going to go check out Dartmouth, Northwestern, and Rochester. UChicago was on my list until I started looking at Northwestern. I'll be checking out the Boston Conservatory just because I'll be in MA with my older brother, and I'll be going to Johns Hopkins to see one of my friends off </3

I've checked out UPenn, Princeton, Columbia/Barnard, Yale, Amherst, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Hampshire, and UMass (and probably more that I just don't remember). SMU and UTD just because they're right around where I live, too :P

Any other colleges I should check out? I'm really not interested in Brown.

that seems sort of stupid. i visited the colleges i wanted to apply to the summer before applications and a lot of my priorities shifted. i saved a lot of money by NOT sending out applications to schools i knew for sure i didn't want to go to after the visit.

after you've been accepted, most colleges have an event called "days on campus" or some variation of that... THEN is when you narrow down your choices to the college you end up at from the ones you've been accepted to.
