| I think it really depends on what you want in a college. The factors you took into consideration when deciding where to apply are still relevant. Financial aid packages, location, academics, people etc. There isn't ONE primary criterion unless one of those things (eg. finances) matter to you more than anything else.
Besides the college websites, if you do get admitted, you can try to look for more information from admitted students' websites or talk to current students and alumni (the alumnus who interviewed you would be a place to start). I've heard about people talking to other admitted students on facebook too.
Sure it would have been great to be able to visit before making a decision. But like tetrisfan said, the internet is your friend... |
