taking kids' friends on college visits - smart or not?

<p>With both daughters, we frequently brought their friends along on college visits. Not only that, but they tagged along with their friends too. The school my older daughter chose was one that she visited with a friend. I didn’t visit campus until we went to the accepted students day program.</p>

<p>I am a teacher, so we did most of our visits during the summer. I was more than happy to take a few friends along, especially if it helped the parents out. Likewise, some of the other parents brought my daughter on trips during the school year. </p>

<p>All of the girls who we shared tours with all ended up at different schools. They did not seem to try to affect the other girls’ decisions.</p>
