<p>My kids each toured their ultimate first choice schools in pretty dismal weather - Northwestern on a brutally cold day (but as you know that’s an accurate portrayal of winter there) and Colgate in a blizzard (also an accurate portrayal). </p>
<p>The worst tour I went on with either kid was at Wesleyan on a frigid February day - the tour NEVER went inside a single building. We came close a couple of times only to be cruelly denied. My younger son and I bolted the tour probably about halfway through as it passed near our car. Maybe that was just that particular tour guide?! The info session at Wesleyan was great so the school stayed on son’s list.</p>
