How do you afford all those college visits?

My daughter is applying to nine schools and has visited one. I can see how it might be useful to see the schools, especially to spend time in a dorm and attend classes, but we didn’t think it would work for us logistically or financially. We did tour some local colleges, even though my daughter is not applying to any of those schools. This was unexpectedly helpful, since it gave her an idea of the kinds of things to look for and pay attention to when she was researching colleges online.
