<p>Yes, visiting potential law schools in advance of applying has some advantages. First, you get to see if you really want to apply there. </p>
<p>My son was definitely going to apply to West Virginia University law school. It had great tuition rates especially if he could establish in state residency. It wasn’t that far from our home,which would allow for more travel home and less cost. However, he was completely turned off by the facilities. They had tax research journals that were two year’s old and not updated among other factors that caused him not to apply. We also visited one law school that seemed great until we started asking students about their feelings. Not one praised the school or the faculty , and we asked a number of kids.</p>
<p>Secondly, visiting can really pay off in the essay. You can personalize the essay to the university. This has to be more impressive to admission folks than getting a generic essay.</p>
