I thought I would love Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Cornell but I hated them.

I thouhgt I would hate Washington and Lee, Boston College, and UVa but I loved them. After an unusually successful admissions experience, I chose BC based on campus visits.

For where I'm going, I visited. And the second I came home, I sent in the deposit.

Creighton U. in Omaha...my family had a wonderful visit there. A very
livable campus. There is a next to campus and an art museum nearby.
A separate (top) dorm floor for Presidential Scholars. When we saw this
dorm floor there were therapy dogs there romping with the students, to
relieve the students' stress during finals week! It was a spring visit and
there were students all over playing frisbee and curled up with their
laptops. I never heard of this place before his hs junior year.

I didn't like Indiana after visiting. Same with Maryland and NC State
Fell in love with GW from the start

I disliked Wheaton College in MA a lot when I visited. I thought it would be a nice safety, but after touring I decided I'd rather take a year off than attend there. Probably because the library was really small and the campus was kind of ugly (although I did go on a rainy day).

On the other end of the spectrum, I had my ED app to Dartmouth ready to send out when I go the chance to visit Tufts. I LOVED Tufts soooooo much that I decided to apply ED there. And now that's where I am going!!!!

It wasn't my actual tour, but my information session where the lady explained Columbia's core that made me fall deep in love with the school. Although the building with all the cool classical names on the top (wow that's the worst description ever) also made me excited. I wasn't even interested in Columbia and now I love it.

Yale and Princeton pretty much confirmed my expectations. Loved Yale, hated Princeton.

Georgia Tech - Instantly loved it after I visited. I kept hearing how the campus was horrible but it really wasn't bad at all, it is very "compact" though, for lack of a better word. Everything seemed brand new, the exact opposite of UVA. Best tour of all of the colleges I have visited, though we met a financial aid person that wasn't very nice at all (an outlier, everyone else was nice).

Virginia Tech - Gorgeous campus, but it is almost too big. It's also in the middle of a field. All the buildings look the same too. Tour was very informative and organized.

UT Knoxville - My safety school. My aunt is a professor there so she showed us around. It's not for me, in just about every way...the highlight of my personal family tour was all the bars that don't ID you haha.

UVA - In one word: Old. No A/C in the dorms, which we weren't even allowed to visit. Everything seems to be falling apart. Tour was boring and unimpressive. I met one of the professors and he wasn't personal at all.
