<p>How helpful are the tours and/or info sessions? I'm transferring and Whitman is like 3 hours from where I live so I figured I'd go see it over break...worth the drive?</p>
<p>Whitties get the whole Thanksgiving week off. I bet it will be a ghost town. Wandering around an empty campus and not visiting a class, etc seems a waste of time to me.</p>
<p>haha i meant winter break my parents refused to pay to fly me home for 4 days of thanksgiving...it would be Dec.17 to Jan.14</p>
<p>Whitties will be on break then too I think. You can check the academic calendar through the website. The website has a lot of ways to see the campus (video tours on the admissions page, for example)--but that is of course not like feeling the feel yourself on campus. But I wouldn't suggest going when everyone is gone because you miss the community feel and can't sit in on a class.</p>
