<p>Personally I believe college visits are a waste until you get into the college. Just think of all of the money you will waste traveling to a college that you will not get into. I think you should stay home do other things to learn about the school. Visit the form page on cc, watch videos on YouTube, visit the website, read books and magazines. Visiting colleges is this new thing that only pansies do. It should be like back ten twenty years ago when a large portion never even dreamed of attending school. College visits is just an excuse for rich kids to purchase a shirt or souvenir to show off to their friends and others saying that they are applying there. If you are paying for the visit then go ahead but since your father is then who gives you the right to use his money on something he doesn’t want? Who is paying to apply to schools? I bet it’s your father, so he should no doubt have the final say in how many schools you apply to. Who is paying for you to attend college? Once again I bet it is your dad. I live in a “rich” white town and the whole college nonsense ****es me off. I believe in the college method twenty years ago, when you walked into the sat, took it once without wee giving it a thought, and continued on. And there was no hoopla over college.</p>
