<p>@alextwoofour: Agreed on the “spend as many hours on each campus as possible”. I think this was really the impetus for that thread I started a while back about “Why don’t BS allow kid to shadow pre-application?”…in which many parents told me that I was being unrealistic and perhaps a tad selfish, that the time to do full-on visits is the revisits.</p>
<p>I second your advice (especially the eating in the cafeterias part), but know that in many cases, a family is trying to visit two schools a day, perhaps over the course of a few days…so that luxury isn’t always there. Especially when you live 5+ hours away from some schools.</p>
