I would group the college tours in two groups:

Fly into Boston to tour Dartmouth & Brown

Fly into Philly to tour UPenn & Princeton

Cornell is sort of on it’s own, in the middle of nowhere.

We did one college tour per day instead of two. Some do 1 morning and 1 afternoon, but by doing only 1 per day it gave us time to tour the campus, surrounding area, sit in on classes (usually you arrange that ahead of time with the school), talk to professors in your child’s proposed major, eat in the dining halls, talk to students, etc.

Go to each college website and there will be tour information for you to read & sign your child up on a given date. If no luck, call the admissions office and maybe someone can walk you through it.
