<p>So I am going on an official visit to Dartmouth soon and was wondering what kind of things happen?
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks!</p>
<p>ah i’m going on one too! You go to class, practice, and chill with the team. Also, you have a one-on-one with the coaches… should be interesting 
</p>
<p>good luck on yours!</p>
<p>Haha, good luck on yours too!
Is Dartmouth your top choice?</p>
<p>My D went to one in the spring.
We never went in due to a HUGE parking issue.
Get there WELL in advance of the appointment time to find parking and expect to walk.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>believe - it sounds as if your d went on an UNofficial. Parents don’t come to officials most of the time, and officials are overnights that are paid for by the school. I did go on an unofficial this spring, and I agree - finding parking was a bit tricky, but not hard to figure out if you knew where to go.</p>
<p>Dartmouth does not have “official” visits, I don’t believe. I went on a Campus Tour and Information Session when I did my college visit to Dartmouth. There, I signed my name and gave information to the school to show that I did come.
Also, Dartmouth does not allow prospective students to stay overnight, only those who are admitted.</p>
<p>Dartmouth does have official visits, at least for recruited athletes. My daughter went, had a wonderful visit, and will be attending next month.</p>
<p>Official visits are for atheletes who are being recruited. As someone else stated, the school invites a few athletes that they are very interested in and pays for the visit. My son will be doing one in mid-Sept. The visit will last three days and is for prospective student/athletes, not parents.</p>
