paying for video tours worth it??!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

<p>I am wondering whether I should just buy some videos and watch them whether than just going there. I will probably get the ones for UC davis, UC irvine, UCLA, and UCSD. I am going to one of these colleges in the fall and I want to see them before I choose, I am having a tough time deciding. I can also just take a week off of work ( I am a senior and work 25-30 hours/week during the schoolyear) and drive there and actually visit the campus. But I am really short on money and I am wondering if these videos are worth it (fifteen bucks each).</p>

<p>Anybody seen these videos before? Is it really worth it to drive there? btw, how old are these videos?</p>

<p>What city do you live in?</p>

<p>If you live in S. Cali, just go visit the 3 southland schools. If you live in N. Cali, just go visit Davis.</p>

<p>The videos are probably a waste. It would be difficult to present a true representation of a college campus thru film.</p>

<p>The videos are probably a very gross misrepresentation of the schools they depict. Who would want to show the ugly side of a school if they wanted to recruit you? If you can take a week off and live in N Cal, you can just take an AmTrak and visit most of the campuses in SoCal.</p>
