<p>jrpar, we visited during spring break, not during the summer. It was very pretty, but very quiet.</p>
<p>We had to do about half and half spring break and summer tours. My daughter wanted to go out of region, and all the out of region schools had to be done in the summer, of course, so they started out on about the same footing. I think visiting in the summer is fine if most all the visits are in the summer, so no one school gets an edge, and if the kid can do an overnight at the match/first choice schools, particularly if he wants to apply ED.</p>
<p>Clayleas, oops, I misread your post. (Still glad she went back to visit again!)</p>
