I think it is wise to visit the schools that you are most interested in. it gives you an idea of the type of campus you want and the area that you will live in.

My daughter who is a senior has visited most of the schools , but has applied to two that she never got the chance to see. She knows she wants to be in Boston definately. Her guidance councilor suggested a couple of schools that would be good for her, in addition to the schools she chose to apply to.

On paper, some of the schools seemed great…upon visiting , she knew it was not the right environment that she wanted to spend 4 yrs studying and living.
She wouldn’t have known simply by visiting their web-site or viewing a catalogue.
