Campus Tour De Force: Parents of College-Bound Students Insist on Seeing Campus Themselves

Tips from College Admissions Officers:
- Limit your college visits to no more than two schools per day. And, if possible, visit only one school per day. If you pack any more into your road trip, you are likely to become overwhelmed.
- Call ahead to make sure that your school will be in session during your visit. (Some colleges do not hold tours during their spring break.) If you visit a school when it isn't in session, you won't get a sense of the student body.
