BAD Visit, Need to Vent

To reinforce points made above, don’t let an experience with one host student or one admissions staffer have too much positive or negative influence on your decision.

When UVa has a student for an overnight, they tell the student to bring their own homework along in case their host student needs to get work done that evening.

Lafayette won’t set up overnight visits on Friday or Saturday nights apparently because they are afraid of problems from underaged drinking.

When I went to UVa, admissions sent a student to stay with my hallmates overnight. We really did not like the kid’s attitude. Therefore, instead of trying to convince him that UVa was a great school, we all tried to convince him to go somewhere else.
