<p>We did a combination of both. D1 went along with an older friend and her mother to visit many colleges. Other mother wanted D along both as a bribe and to keep the peace with her daughter who was not happy about doing visits. I took the same girl on a week-long jaunt a few states away where my sister lives. It worked bacause both girls were respectful about each others very different desires in a college. We took a friend of D2s on a few visits as well. However, for the colleges that were at the very top of my DD’s wish lists they both imposed a no visitors rule.</p>
