<p>If a student can visit a college only once before applying, is it better for him or her to attend an Open House with lots of planned events or to have a regular, individual visit?</p>
<p>My D visted 10 schools in her college search and I tagged along. She found the regular visits more helpful (assuming it is done when classes are in session). Those gave her a better feel for the day-to-day atmosphere on the campus.</p>
