If she doesn’t go she has only ~4 colleges on her list and could choose to apply blindly to these, but then what if she’s accepted? What would she base her decision on?

Cost, academic offerings, and other things that she values but can find out without visiting.

Visits are probably overrated in importance in college selection. And with many campuses switching to distance / online education, there won’t even be a possibly-representative subjective feel of the college that a visit may offer. You might see how nice the grounds, buildings, and surrounding areas are, but those hardly seem like the most important deciding points of choosing a college.
