<p>I did not get to visit schools in my Junior year and am planning
on doing so only after being admitted.</p>
<p>I found Google Earth
one of the best ways to get a sense of the campuses and their environs.
The tilt and zoom controls give a real birds eye view as you fly suspended
over the buildings and trees.</p>
<p>Try entering MIT on the "Fly to" input on the search panel
or Caltech, Pasadena</p>
<p>the Youtube videos that you get when you search for theU (for those universities covered) can be fun as well...</p>
<p>HOW ABOUT YOU? ARE THERE OTHER ON LINE WAYS OF GETTING THE CAMPUS VIEW EXPERIENCE.....</p>
