Planning a midwest college tour

Hmm. The mapquest directions say to go north from Lake Forest to Milwaukee, and then west on 94 – 2 1/2 hours. I’m hoping that since we are leaving from a suburb north of Chicago we’ll miss a lot of the rush hour traffic. We’ve all been to Chicago at least once, so we have a pretty good sense of the city (although it was in midsummer).

It’s so hard to plan these trips, and balance them with schoolwork and other activities. I’d love to spend more time in Chicago – or see more colleges (I wanted to drive to Macalester in St. Paul), but we decided to head home sooner.

Back to my original question: does the student just send an email to the department head and ask for a meeting? Or work through the admissions office?
