I don’t really get the point of visiting a campus to decide whether to go there. To me, a visit is just an excuse for a tour guide to fill you up with all the information the university wants you to hear. University’s got to sell itself, after all. Wouldn’t trust a word you heard. I never did them in high school. Then again, in high school I had zero intention of moving on to college, and everyone knew it. Even if I had, my family didn’t have the time or money to visit anywhere other than San Jose State. When I did enter college, I visited campuses after having already chosen them. De Anza was an obvious choice of community colleges, given my Grandma’s proximity to the campus and the quality. Didn’t need a visit to know it was a great choice for me. Wouldn’t have been able to afford air fare from Missoula to San Jose anyway. For university, I couldn’t do visits outside of a day trip to San Francisco State if I’d wanted them, given that I didn’t want to apply to San Jose State or East Bay, or a UC. I couldn’t afford to visit to the SoCal schools I applied to. Everything turned out fine. I’d roll with what she wants. She either will change her mind later or not at all. Doesn’t really matter.
