I don’t have a problem with visiting a school you would not otherwise consider. It is the attitude of treating this as a free vacation that bothers me.



Why? That’s what colleges are offering it as - come see our beautiful campus! Enjoy yourself! We want you to be convinced to apply and attend!



If you know you will not apply to that school no matter what, why use their resources? why not let others have the opportunity to visit?



I said I had no intention of applying - that does not imply that my mind would have never, ever changed. I had every intention of applying to and attending George Washington. I attended their funded program and hated the school. Plus, giving up my spot would not have afforded others the option to visit. These were invitational events.
