Revisit days are great ways to get the vibe of a school. The students that your child comes in contact with can make or break the experience. That being said, no one interaction should be deemed the ‘school.’
We used revisit days to answer a lot of our more focused questions now that we were accepted vs trying to impress. It was a time for us to see if we could see ourselves in the environment - on the campus, with the students, teachers, culture, etc. Really see the rooms, bathroom, try the food.
Our school was not originally our first pick, as we did not have a good read of the culture when we visited back in the fall on a major rival day when many were off campus competing or cheering. We knew we would need to go back if we were accepted. Our two different visit 1:1 tour guides gave us a solid look at the type of students my DD might engage with and the revisit day was great.
After speaking with several students on revisit day at a different school that I thought was going to raise to the top, my DD decided to hit pause. Too many students had echoed a similar sentiment that left my DD uncomfortable. She loved the school and kids she met, but she felt like ‘where there was smoke, there was fire’ meaning there was an underlying vibe that she did not want.
Truthfully, I think she would have loved and thrived at any number of schools as she truly loves all that BS has to offer. But she is so happy where she is and I remember the moment when we were revisiting that she started crying and said this is it, send the check in. LOL
I do think kids are excited about new peers and even without a sports team there are lots of places to make friends. It may take a little bit to find her people, but students will be excited for someone new to change up the dynamics as they live and work with the same people.
Have you visited all of your options for a good comparison? Follow your gut, it sounds like you love the school. how was her original tour guide when she was applying? Also ask questions on the forum about the school - there tends to be enough to read through to get a good sense and see if it aligns with your take.
Good luck!
