<p>Some kids get a real feeling for a school when they visit. My daughter never fell in love with a school, but definitely got some ideas for what she did not like with the campus visits.</p>
<p>Visits do help with deciding what type of campus a student wants (size, location, etc.), and sometimes, something learned on a visit can pique interest or ideas of something a student would like to have in a campus. If you do a lot of Internet research and read the many brochures that flow into your house, you will learn a lot about campuses.</p>
<p>We probably visited more than ten schools before DD did her applications. She had been on the campus of every school she applied to–except the school she ended up attending, which she visited after she was admitted.</p>
