51. College Visits

If you're still trying to decide which college to attend, make a(nother) visit! Generally, you'll "feel" whether the college is a good match for you--that is, somewhere you'll thrive and just not survive. Since the deadline for responding to colleges' offer of admission is May 1, visit now; spend the night in a dorm room and attend a class, if you can, but be sure to call ahead to make arrangements.

For some thoughts on those visits, see the following links:
