It sounds like I am not wasting money by arranging a visit. We are from Colorado and it makes NE school visits a challenge. We saw both of these on a whirlwind trip (8 days, 11 schools, 6 interviews, 4 hotels, several planes, a train, and a car). It was summer and there were very few students. Her impression of Smith was better but that may have been because Northampton is cool. I am hoping the re-visit settles it, but will also advise her to do a very thorough review of majors/minors and courses before we go.
