We found it very easy to do two in one day. We did a full week in April of two schools per day. We arrived the evening before, checked into our hotel, then drove over to campus in the evening to check it out… walk around, go to the book store, library, gym, student center, etc. and it gave us a nice feel for the school. If you do the first morning tour and info session, you can grab lunch on the road and get to your next school for an afternoon tour and info session, and then hang out awhile on your own before getting back on the road. It was a great week.

I would definately wait on the interviews. Most juniors aren’t prepared yet for interviews. Both Dickinson and F&M offered interviews with their admissions counselors on the road in Connecticut. So we didn’t have to drive all the way back for a second time. Good luck.
