<p>Sophomore parent, found the report on Davidson's Jr. Day really interesting:</p>
<p>Would like to have a list of other colleges offering such events so that we might plan effectively for next year's traveling. Can others chime in with their experiences of special days they attended throughout the year? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I believe Wellesley has one of these- I think it's called "Junior Open Campus".</p>
<p>We went to a very informative Jr Day two years ago at Kenyon. I imagine there will be one this year. Although it was on a Saturday and there were no classes to visit, there were a number of useful panels,meetings, and tours, and also a few musical events which we found very helpful. If you are interested in music and looking at LAC's students ensemble performances and recitals can really help you to understand it the school would be a good fit for you. I also found some of the things the admissions people said to us on that day at Kenyon to be very helpful as my son negotiated the admission process at other schools as well.</p>
<p>MGMom-- the best part of these junior days, at least for us, was the general sessions on college admissions & the interest finally created w/ S.</p>
<p>I am aware of 3 types of "junior days":
1. general, like Davidson's. S just received one for Gettysburg in early April:

2. alumni/legacy oriented, to help alumni children figure out where they might want to apply & how they'd do, e.g., Trinity College:

3. recruited athlete. Girls teams especially, do "junior days".....teams host a set of recuitable juniors, usher them through standard tours, etc, & have them spend the night with a team member.</p>
<p>Lehigh has one in March.</p>
