Help with college list for visits and applications

I’ll toss this out re: lots of campus visits.

We did not visit many schools before application season. Maybe 4-5 and some were simply “representative” of a school type.

I was surprised that our kid began to mix up the visits. It got blurry for her.

And, the weather that day plus the particular student giving the tour seemed to have an out-sized effect on her opinion of a school.

More visits may not bring clarity. There is so much one can learn by researching a school online and taking a virtual campus tour.

Some people wait to visit the finalist schools on the final acceptance list.

Obviously, there are many ways to approach this & YMMV!

Good luck!
