<p>Has anyone been to this at Vanderbilt? If so, how informative was it and did you learn anything from it that was not available through the website or DVD?</p>
<p>DS is a rising senior and we not have the funds in our budget to visit schools that are far away. Vanderbilt is high on DS son's list of schools and I really want him to be able to visit if we can work out the cost of the trip.</p>
<p>My son attended a few years ago and it was worthwhile to us. It was like an extended version of a tour/info session. There were also break-outs to attend talks by a professor/dean of each of the schools. I personally don't think you can get anywhere close to an accurate picture of a college from the website/DVD. There really is no substitute to an actual visit -- to see the surrounding area, the city, the size and feel of the campus, etc.</p>
