<p>oh, I didn’t realize you/they were a junior.
You’re right about schools having absense policies including for college visits, but they’re pretty lenient. My school gives us 10 per class and then the teacher has the option to drop you or not, but usually the teacher will not care and everything will be fine. If all your absenses truly come from visiting colleges, you aren’t going to be kicekd out and not graduate. Come on, be realistic hehe…schools barely even care about attendance senior year, maybe junior year tho. anyways, absenses really aren’t going to keep you from graduation unless the absenses cause you to fail your classes. if you’re grades are fine with absenses, it’s usually no problem.</p>
<p>anyhoo, I still don’t see why anyone would want to visit colleges over spring break. every highschool gives enough free absenses to allow college visits. now, if you happen to be visiting Baltimore during spring break, then by all means go look at JHU, but don’t go out of your way driving hours or flying just to visit. save that time for a weekend. maybe take off a friday from school and have it continue into the weekend. leave thursday night and get there that night, visit the school on Friday when the school is running, and then maybe stay friday night to experience the social scene. i dunno, makes sense to me.</p>
