I wouldn’t give the student who said the highlight of her trip was the baby animals too hard of a time. My DD would say the highlight of her study abroad was a visit to a vineyard. Oh, and she learned a LOT of educational stuff and met cool people, too! As for focusing on “feel” I know that by the time she got to this point and was trying to decide among 3 pretty equal choices, she’d already done the go-to-class thing, knew what she needed about the programs and was really looking to see where she would fit in. At that point she didn’t know how much fun being a Blue Hen would be compared to the other 2 animals!
I agree with the other posters that going to the formal decision days would be a much different experience. I suppose they can’t make everyone happy.
As for the swiping in for the dorms, I don’t remember any of the other colleges we visited having anything that stopped more than one person coming in. I do remember that the alarms went off pretty quickly if the door was l eft open for more than a short period of time.
