Post-acceptance visits

Applying to College
1

<p>We did not visit any schools before my daughter applied, so now face the prospect of visiting several. All of them have "accepted student visiting days." I am thinking that visiting on a "regular" day, sitting in on classes, etc., will give a better view of the school than on a packaged visiting day. Anyone have any experience with this? Or thoughts?</p>

<p>(Am also posting this in the parents' forum.)</p>

<p>I've had muuuch better experiences visiting unofficially and arranging with the faculty to shadow a student than attending the official dates. From my perspective, you get a much clearer idea of what the campus is actually like, rather than what the school wants to show you.</p>

<p>What do you typically do on accepted student dates?</p>
