<p>Since I have an older brother (3 years older), I saw most of my colleges when I was in 8th grade. We took a big family trip and saw:
Brown
Tufts
Dartmouth
Colby
Bates
Bowdoin
McGill
Holy Cross
Middlebury</p>
<p>The ones I visited for myself were:
Brown
Grinnell
Haverford</p>
<p>I only visited Grinnell because they flew me out for some diversity program. Otherwise it would have been too far.</p>
<p>ive visited Harvard, MIT, Brown (not applying), Duke, Penn State, Johns Hopkins, and Cornell</p>
<p>i am applying to 5 or 6 more schools without visiting</p>
<p>I visited
USC
NYU
UPenn
Georgetown
Boston College
UT-Austin</p>
<p>and guess what? I'm not applying to any of them but UT yes i'm crazy. but in the end visiting them helped me determine what I wanted in a school. </p>
<p>Applying to
UT-Austin
Yale
Boston University
WashU</p>
<p>And no it's not insane to visit after acceptance - just make sure it isn't too many schools.</p>
<p>I've visited one....U Rochester....luv it</p>
<p>I've visited U of Chicago, Case Western, Haverford, Swarthmore, Bard, Sarah Lawrence, and U of Maine. I'm actually applying/applied to U of C, Case, Swarthmore and Bard.</p>
<p>I have visited 1 of the 12 schools I 'm applying to, and that was only because I happened to be there.
Why? My family can't afford it and nobody has the time to take me.
Since I'm applying to very selective programs in the states where there is no guarantee that I'll get in, I figure I'll visit once I see where I'm accepted. This way = fewer schools to visit, less money spent.
No point in visiting and falling in love with harvard if they're only going to reject you anyway.
Anyone with me? Lol.</p>
<p>I'm with you all the way. Its my personal theory that a college visit will not make or break my decision to go to any one college (unless its a really crappy college and they have a campus so crappy that you will decide not to go there once you see it). I mean, if I have an idea for a college, you can get like 99.9% of the info about it online. Whether a campus is beautiful or not will not really impact anyones learning (unless, like i've said above, the campus is falling apart....and that happens at schools you prolly woudn't wanna go to to begin with).</p>
<p>I visited a bunch of schools with my dad. Because we live so far away, we had to make one big trip. But it was awesome, and worthwhile as next year I'll be attending one of them. </p>
<p>We saw
Dartmouth
Yale
Princeton
UVA
William and Mary
Duke
Wake Forest
Davidson</p>
<p>I think that's it.</p>
<p>I've visited a few Canadian Universities...
-U of Calgary (given, I live here)
-U Victoria
-UBC
-McGill (3 times because I went 3 years in a row to their MUN symposium)
-Dalhousie
-U of T
-St. FX </p>
<p>If I get into the Page Program I am also going to have to visit U of Ottawa to know if I could actually live there for 4 years. </p>
<p>I applied to: UBC, McGill, and Ottawa</p>
<p>I visited Pitzer, Pomona, UCLA, UCB, Stanford... as a CA resident.</p>
<p>I've been to UCSD and SDSU, although I don't feel like they count. I saw the entrance of McGill U- it looked pretty.</p>
<p>Zella, what were your impressions of SDSU?</p>
<p>Columbia, Barnard, NYU- all numerous times because we live in NYC.</p>
<p>Harvard, Penn, Byrn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Tufts, Boston College, Hampshire, Brandeis, UMass-Amherst, Cornell, Howard, Georgetown, Dartmouth (2x), Williams(3x), Amherst (2x).</p>
<p>im only a sophomore (and an oregonian) and ive visited:</p>
<p>stanford
U of O

<p>I visited Columbia, Notre Dame, UGA, and Emory, and I applied to four others in addition to these.</p>
<p>I visited Yale, Brown, Columbia, and Cornell. I'm not applying to Cornell, but I am applying to 6 schools that I think I would like, even though I didn't visit.</p>
<p>Listed in order of visitation:
Stanford (technically, I lived at Stanford for 9 years, but that counts, right?)
UCBerkeley
Harvard
Boston College
Amherst (2 Times) - ED Acceptance
After the first visit to Amherst, I got into the search for my safety phase...
Safety 1: UMASS Amherst
*Safety 2: Endicott College
*Safety 3: Arcadia
*Safety 4: Framingham State College *That's when my mom told me to snap out of it
Haverford
Villanova
Swarthmore
Princeton
Williams (3 Times)
Northeastern
Tufts
Colgate</p>
<p>Wow, you people must have alot of time on your hands. I've visited:
Barnard (2x - once for interview)
NYU (want to go again though)
Brandeis (open house)</p>
<p>I'm applying to all those and UMD, which I haven't visited, but my brother is there now.</p>
<p>What is most impressionable about the place is perhaps the vibe I got. It was laid back, yet conscious at the same time... does that make sense? It strikes me as the most eclectic and interesting of CSUs (and it would probably appeal more to me if I wasn't a SD resident.) The area around it is alright, but you'll need a car regardless as that is just the kind of city SD is. The down sides: my friend (an Aztec) said the school was dead during the weekends and the architecture is dry, but not ugly.</p>
<p>Bottomline: I like SDSU (not that you asked) over UCSD. It has potential.</p>
<p>i've visited:
-richmond
-wake forest
-elon
-dickinson
-bucknell
-lafayette
-lehigh
-villanova
-vanderbilt
-virginia
-north carolina
-washington & lee
-davidson
-maryland
-delaware</p>
<p>yeah, its kind of a lot</p>
