She is not at all interested in doing any visit.

<p>If your daughter is not interested in visiting - then don't waste your money or time with a visit. </p>

<p>My son did not visit ANY campus until spring of his senior year, well after the time that all his applications were in. My daughter did not do any visits until the autumn of her senior year -- she was insistent that she wanted to visit while school was in session, after she had narrowed down her choices somewhat -- and she was able to arrange for time off to visit with her high school teachers. </p>

<p>There are some kids who really do not need to visit a college in advance - they are the type of kids who adjust well to any situation, and may already have a clear idea of what type of school they want (large vs. small, urban vs. rural, etc.). Many kids place more importance on the type of information they can get from a web site or course catalog, such as the names and biographical information about faculty members in their areas of interest, types of majors offered, etc. And many kids who do visit report really stupid reasons for liking or disliking a campus, such as not liking the way the tour guide was dressed -- so maybe it makes those kids happy that they visited, but I have yet to see any kid who is actually attending college write that they want to transfer out because they don't like the way the tour guides dress. </p>

<p>So wait until your daughter is ready.</p>
