Regarding Itinerary #1, we did the Dartmouth/Amherst thing on the same day - in reverse order and it was do-able but super -rushed and only caught the tail end of a tour but did have an info session @ D. Gained favorable impressions of both colleges, able to discern definite differences - so it was okay in that regard, but really did not have time to talk to anyone outside the info sessions and tours. Plan to get up quite early in the day to drive out of Boston and give yourself 3 hours drive time, to cover the unexpected, find parking, admissions office etc. If you get there early you can explore a little on your own. If you don’t mind getting back to Boston late, you can spend time after the formal info sessions and tour exploring the town of Amherst and the North Hampton area on your own, so at least you will get a flavor. So, I say its possible if you really want to do it - it will just be less than ideal. Know that tours sometimes take longer than scheduled and you might have to cut out of the morning session early. Try to get the information session in.
