<p>If my daughter is accepted to UVA, I would really like her to do an overnight trip. She and I visited the campus but I’d really like her to get a feel for the student body and environment without me. I have seen the Monroe Society webpage and hope to be able to arrange this. What I can’t figure out is if I can combine a Days on the Lawn with an overnight trip. I would also be interested in others’ experiences with Days on the Lawn – was it helpful in choosing UVA over another school or schools? </p>

<p>Has anyone done an overnight with the Monroe Society? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>My D had an overnight with a member of the Monroe Society. It was well worth it! Spending time on the Grounds with the students is how a prospective student will really know if UVA is the right fit. I think that we combined Days on the Lawn with the Monroe overnight, but can’t remember for sure.</p>

<p>Your daughter can definitely combine an overnight with DOTL. However, be aware that there are a limited number of people in the Monroe Society and they get flooded with requests as soon as we make notification. Submit those requests early. :)</p>
