<p>My daughter wanted to schedule a tour at a very small school which didn’t accept online reservations and I had her do that because there aren’t many people in the admissions office and in fact she did speak to one of the directors. The rest of the schools I scheduled tours online. Unless it is a very general question, I think kid should always call admissions.</p>
<p>We did our first round mostly online. I don’t think anyone thinks less of you if you have to call especially with a sophomore. Most sophomores don’t have driver’s licenses so have no way to visit colleges on their own.</p>
