Visiting colleges this summer?

If you're headed out on a college tour this summer - and we hope you are - this mother's perspective might give you a few ideas.  While I'm not sure a student tour guide can really tell you if the professors are happy or not, most of her suggestions are good ones.

I would add that it is always a good idea to spend some time walking around campus on your own. An even better idea is for you to go in one direction and your parents can go in the other.  Maybe you can just sit in the student center and just watch and listen. See if you can find the building or rooms you're interested in, like the theater or science labs. Then you can come back and compare notes with the folks.  Also, see if you can find an off-campus hangout for lunch.  Put it all together, and you'll start to figure out if it "fits" or not!
