<p>Totally agree with last 2 posts. While it does depend to some extent on the individual, it makes good sense to visit any of the colleges you are seriously thinking of attending. I certainly believe that at least some who apply to an Academy do NOT fully understand the commitment that will be required of them.</p>
<p>If you feel ‘uncomfortable’ just visiting for a weekend, imagine how tough it would be to attend for 4 years. A visit is the right time to see if you feel you would fit in or that college is right for you.</p>
<p>In general, it is probably a bad idea if the first time you see your college is the day you move in.</p>
