CTinCT,
Congrats on your daughter acceptance to Gettysburg! I did visit Gettysburg one time before GAD. I really had to drag my son there. He was glad we did in the end. It was between 2 schools but he had applied to 11 in total. I felt Gettysburg was the better fit for him but I needed him to make up HIS mind. When we went to GAD there was alot of more information for us to make this decision. We were able to go to a break out seminar from the actual department of the major he was thinking of which was health science. I knew after that academically this was the place for him.
We also went to a huge expo of the clubs available to join. He wanted to play Rugby. He was able to meet with some of the other Rugby boys. During that time he said to me lets do it! We put a deposit down right there and he got his orange dot. Students get name tags that morning and the kids who have committed get an orange dot. I still have it!
Its a long drive for you. If you have any doubts I would go.
Keep me posted! If you have any questions about Freshman year, move in day, orientation ect Id be glad to help.
